From Wladimir Bulchukey To All 16 October 2004

Hello(s), All...! === Cut === 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 === Cut === 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. With the best - Wlodek # wlblack(@)newmail.ru # http://wlodeks.narod.ru [ZX] [500:95/462@ZXNet] [2:5016 Forever] [Golyanovo] [Old Russians]

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?

Hello, Kirill...! 19 Oct 04 02:41, Kirill Frolov -> Wladimir Bulchukey: KF> What is she actually looking for in full text? KF> in /DIFFERENT/ encodings? 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 KF> file types? I don’t understand :-( . Yes, download it and try it, it’s only 400 kilos. With the best - Wlodek # wlblack(@)newmail.ru # http://wlodeks.narod.ru [ZX] [500:95/462@ZXNet] [2:5016 Forever] [Golyanovo] [Old Russians]
