This is a great tool
I am a knowledge management consultant, so evaluating, implementing, and using search technology is a big part of my work and I must say this little tool impressed the daylights out of me.

First, it's easy to use. It downloaded in seconds, installed in a snap, and indexed my drive while I was at lunch. What particularly impressed me was that not only did it index my Outlook mailbox, but it displayed the messages text through the browser. Very slick.

I am curious to see it evolve. First, I would like the ability to search my hard disk and the Internet concurrently. I would also like see Notes and maybe Eudora and Thunderbird compatability. It would also be good to offer Macintosh and Linux versions of the tool.

Google should also update the Google Toolbar for IE to offer Desktop as a search option and also develop a search extension for Firefox.
