Hello(s), All...!

Google has released a local search engine
10/15/2004, 05:05:34
Google Inc. released a preliminary version on Thursday
version of Google Desktop Search that allows
carry out full-text search for information not only on the Internet,
but also on the hard drive of users' computers.
The new program is distributed free of charge and can be downloaded
from the company website. Google Desktop Search is capable of searching not
only in plain text files or in HTML formats, Microsoft
Word, Excel and Powerpoint, but also in mail messages in databases
Microsoft Outlook or Outlook Express, as well as in Internet logs
pager AOL Instant Messenger and on pages on the Internet, previously
viewed in Internet Explorer.
"This program, as we say, is actually
photographic memory of your computer, says Associated
Press words from the director of consumer internet products
Google Inc. Marissa Mayer - She covers
almost everything. We believe that you should be able to
ease of finding everything that you have seen on the screen at least once
your computer monitor."
After installation, the program will index all information,
contained on the hard drive, and subsequently, as stated
developers, the search will be carried out within sharesseconds. In addition, while the computer is idle,
Google Desktop Search will index the new
information received recently, including postal
messages and Internet pager logs.
While browsing the Internet, Google Desktop Search caches
all loaded pages, and subsequently the user will
be able to view them again without connecting to the Internet.
The program is integrated into the Google search engine, and
the user will be able to simultaneously receive search results by
web pages and your computer's hard drive.
Google Desktop Search is actually
a local web server invisible to the user. In order to
use local search, you must enter the address of this
web server in a browser.
Company representatives especially emphasize that this
the program is completely isolated and safe. "Google doesn't know
what happens when a user performs a local search
on the hard drive," Mayer said.
Similar search programs have already been released by some
relatively little-known companies such as dtSearch, Enfish,
ISYS, X1, ZyLAB, Terra Lycos, Blinkx and Copernic.
A similar product is being prepared to be introduced by mid-2005
Microsoft. Similar programs are also being developed
Apple, AOL and Ask Jeeves.since 2004 Lenta.ru

I downloaded it at work and installed it on 1 computer for testing. The flight is normal.
There is no need to enter any page address; a shortcut is placed during installation.
It is not yet possible to test its operation with Fido’s JAM databases, but in theory
should. The built-in Windows indexing service is resting.

What is she actually looking for in full text? For example, text files
in /DIFFERENT/ encodings? PDF, and what about /RUSSIAN TEXTS/? *.doc?
*.html? *.xml? Mail folders encoded in mime? Packed
files and archives? Is it possible to index removable media?
Is it possible to add your own backend to support unsupported
file types?

That's for sure.
KF> PDF,
I don’t know yet, most likely yes.
KF> what does /RUSSIAN TEXTS/?
Of course, the Russians are looking.
KF> *.doc?
KF> *.html? *.xml?
The first two are accurate (xml, probably, too, otherwise how would he look on the Internet).
I was generally very pleased with the search in .doc, I just needed to find important things,
and found it.
KF> Mail folders encoded in mime? Packed
KF> files and archives?
I don't know yet.
KF> Is it possible to index removable media?
I think so.
KF> Is it possible to add your own backend to support unsupported

Yes, download it and try it, it’s only 400 kilos.
