Pixietoadstool Posted March 8, 2005 Share Posted March 8, 2005 I have just downloaded Google's new desktop search and I have to say it is brilliant - it found stuff that my Windows search engine couldn't.Try it - it's brilliant!Valerie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Posted March 9, 2005 Share Posted March 9, 2005 Valerie, it certainly looks like a good idea. The disadvantage, as I understand from previous discussions on this forum, is that there are possible security issues as it is used to collect information about you, and what is on your computer. Of course, all search engines can be used to gather information about what you do on the internet, but this latest generation looks inside your computer as well. Although I'm pretty sure I have nothing illegal or otherwise dubious, the idea does make me feel rather uneasy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
