Maybe it will when it's out of beta. That would be a pretty sweet feature.

* Search chats from AOL 7+ and AOL Instant Messenger 5+

AIM saves the chat conversations?

In their ever growing plot to take over the Microsoft world Google invades your desktop.

fixed.

 

[Babbles]

I would rather have Google in charge of my desktop than Microsoft.

 

[screw3d]

nvm

 

[Achtung]

Dammit... its not working for me. All I get when I try to use it is:

Server Error
The following error occurred:

 Cannot connect due to potential loopback problems

No, it logs it WHILE you are chatting.

wow, seems like lots of people are jumping on the indexed file searching bandwagon lately. there was a mention of dtsearch and approcket in maximum pc and a review of several searching programs in pcworld.

anyone know how fast this thing indexes large hard drives?

Yeah, Google desktop logs it while you're chatting. This thing is awesome. It'll be obsolete when Longhorn and WinFS come out, but that won't happen for at least a couple years.

 

[CarLBanks]

Well, if Microsoft's new search is still good. Google uses their algorithorns for searching your desktop.

 

[kermalou]

how about trillian chats?

does it log them as well?

 

[Goosemaster]

So much for waiting for WinFS

 

[Lairans]

I SO wish this damn thing allowed me to use firefox. =(

 

[randomlinh]

so google adds logging for aim... sweet! too bad i don't really have any use logging for aim should be BUILT IN dammit. like hte mac version...

 

[Lairans]

ITs sorta built into the DEAD aim client which .. alot of people use. Costs a wopping 5 bucks and gets rid of the adds. ONly trouble is that JD doesnt update enough to keep up with the new versions of AIM. I stick with 5.5xxx and it works great. www.jdennis.net

it works in firefox for me...I have google as my homepage, all it does is add a Desktop link, works fine...

 

[randomlinh]

yes, i have deadaim. but it still should be built in by default. that way i could just use adhack pretty nifty this google desktop.. but i don't like the interface... it needs to be streamlined into the OS if that's what it's searchin through

 

[Ferocious]

How does it compare to
Lookout?
