Final and conclusive proof that Google can search anything. Problem is that it's a very limited set of file types that it can search. No OpenOffice.org, no Firefox and Thunderbird, no MSN Messenger, ICQ or Yahoo and very few media files. As a program it works brilliantly but as a beta it's severely compromised.

PS: Anyone notice how Google software never gets out of beta? News, Groups, Gmail and now Desktop are still betas.

PPS: Will, stop complaining and dish out some of that money you've made from your innumerable computer shops. A P4 deserves a decent OS.
