Google Desktop - do a search on your Comp


In this post we will go about finding information in my Comp. Information in text format, of course.

Personally I have - it was a problem. A lot of saved web pages with articles, files in various text formats, pdf-books, e-mail - all that is called: "Download and forget". Find this something useful with search windose - a long time and a chore.

But was advised to take advantage of Google's free programulinoy - "Google Desktop". Indeed - a search engine in your Comp. After installing the program begins indexing the computer, gradually, during the switch. Also, each text file that you open, it indexes on the fly. "

To call the search box, double-click the button "Ctrl". In the search box enter the word or phrase, and immediately see the first ten results. We click on the link and open the file or folder, where it is.

To view all the results click the link at the bottom of the results "See these results on a browser. And then use as a normal search in Google via the default browser.

Of course the program can be configured to search the Internet, to establish a permanent sidebar with the clock, the search bar, news, etc. To do this, click "settings" button on the Quick Search.

To me this prog several times already are helped by the work of - information in the computer with 2003 accumulated, with different people (no longer working), and when something must be found, then the hand to pick the folder was problematic.

In general, I advise, soft helpful.
