Cool. As I understand it, they've got plenty more big cards up their sleeves...
As for the "organise douchebags" - that's true to an extent but it's also annoying when you're looking for something, you can remember the exact line you're looking for but it could be in any of a bunch of documents.

Sweet I've been using Deductus which once indexed scans fast as hell, but this... hell I had a feeling after I saw their picture software that they had some other stuff comin down the pipe. I have no problems with the options except for "Send non-personal usage data and crash reports to Google" which I just unchecked. I wish it had support for ICQ and Yahoo's archiving functions.. maybe that will come later....
EDIT: Just installed and let it index... still indexing but I've already done a search.. it works well and fast... now it desperately needs to ability to be able to specify additional or specific drives, I'd like to use it at work to index a few network drives...

This just after MSFT pulled WinFS out of Longhorn. This probably is exactly what WinFS was shooting for. Good going Google.
Google ought to make an OS! Picasa, by the way, is pretty slick and light. Their next program should be a media player! BUY WINAMP! BRING IT BACK TO GLORY!
Or foobar.

Well, concerning Winamp, Justin Frankel, the founder of Nullsfot left the company because he was fed up with AOL's control over his creativity. Alot of the other original programmers have also left.
Check out Justin's blog 1014.org to see what he's up to now. He's doing too much guitar playing these days though. There's a section where he puts his codes up though.

At first I thought the topic title referred to the way one can make a regular Google search bar sit on their desktop. Glad I read further; this sounds pretty cool.
Haven't tried this yet, but reading about it...
Is there any customizability? I mean, sometimes there's useful data that could be easily searched that just use other extensions. Things like .INI, .LOG, whatever. It'd be nice if it let you add in your own wildcards for what's valid to be checking out.

Wow, that seems pretty hefty... and pretty useless in giving a flat number. I mean, doesn't make sense that it would be around 500 MB regardless of whether you were using a 20 GB drive filled with FLAC files or a 200 GB drive full of book texts, so how much space is it actually taking for some of you guys?
Download hello here - hello
It quite a slick program and makes sending files easier. You can simply select all the photos you want in picasa and then at the bottom click on export to hello, then you choose a person to send to and youre done. If you recieve some pictures from someone, picasa wil auto add them to your album.
It also lets you upload pictures straight to your blogger account.

Doesn't Dead AIM have an AIM log searcher already installed?

Finally bought a new PSP, but then pushed the demon onto someone else. Jesus.
I don't see the point of this... But then again, I keep organized computers.
Can this work over a network? In other words, can I specify a drive on another node to search through?

I seriously disagree that it works pretty well... but it's better than nothing.

Pay attention to earlier posts in the thread dammit!!!!
No this version doesn't let you specific drives/folders. You can however EXCLUDE certain URLs, paths from the indexing service.

Organizing files is well and good, but I certainly don't always think of a certain nugget of information or phrase and remember which file it's part of. Nor is the built-in search feature very speedy.DaCocoBrova said:

as do i. but when my AIM Logs folder has over 100 names in it with literally thousands of logs for the last 2 years, how am i gonna find, say, the birthday of someone who told me her birthday when we first started talking around 8 months ago? randomly picking dates in that time frame until i randomly find it? be responsible and write it down? fuck that.
Overseer said:
understandable. I use deadAIM so it automatically logs them. it's just handy for me, so i can just look up when's someone's birthday is, what music they recommended last week, someone's phone number, etc. without having to call them or anyone else. just a bit more convenient =)
