Google Desktop 2 Beta
Google has release Google Desktop 2 Beta. The biggest new features are the Sidebar, a panel on your desktop which provides convenient access to various personalized information, and Quick Find, which allows you to search for an application to run from within any application. What seems very promising is the ability for the beta to search Gmail, and for the Sidebar to include RSS feeds. Check out the features page.
So to recap: Google Desktop Search can now index Gmail messages, it can encrypt your search index, and it can index additional drives and networked folders.
I am just starting to uncover all of its features, but this is exciting me to no end. This beta is by far one of the best things to have come from Google.
