Google Desktop Search is in beta

So the Google Desktop Search has finally arrived. I had been talking about stuff like this a while ago, referring to it as personal google. In fact the interface google created is very similar to what I had been thinking about. The main difference is that I was thinking of color labeling search results by file type, where as they seem to just use a different icon. But you can still drill down your results to specific file types. Overall I think it is very cool and is a sign of great potential. I’ve seen quite a bit of complaining about the lack of certain file type support and lack of Firefox support, and yes, I really want all that too. But I’m still happy with what I see. Google seem to have the correct vision for the desktop search. It’s a matter of time before GDS can search everything you create and everything that you read.

And Google… if you’re searching for more people to hire, let me know. I would love to be able contribute my effort and ideas to projects that I feel have the correct vision of what the web will be in the future.
