Jason at theUnofficialGoogleWeblog seems to really like X1 search software. In fact he likes it so much that he’s arranged to give us bloggers some free copies. I’ve tried X1 a couple of times and have always ended up uninstalling it because -as most desktop search software- it consumes too many resources (i.e.: it takes…
Google has released Desktop Search today. Download it at: Google Desktop Search Download From Google’s About Google Desktop Search: Google Desktop Search is how our brains would work if we had photographic memories.
