Desktop Search Rules

I’ve been using the Yahoo Desktop Search
for a while now, enough to know that I am completely hooked on the desktop search idea. What I’m not hooked on however is the Yahoo application.
So, just like Jeremy Zawodny (See: Hello GDS, Goodbye YDS (by Jeremy Zawodny)) I’ve installed and am using the Google Desktop Search. It hasn’t even finished indexing my hard drive yet and I already can tell that I love it. What’s even better, Google supports plugins. Seeing that I use Trillian for my IM needs this is a godsend.
A quick note on both providers… I never would have imagined how fantastic the desktop search can be as a productivity tool. Just in terms of allowing me to search through my email instantaneously has saved me countless hours. If you haven’t installed one of these tools, take my word for it, your gonna love it.
