I'm not the only one cautious about Google Desktop search.

Here is an article in the Seattle Times that explains some of the problems when using Google Desktop search. Take a good look at what it does and ask yourself the question, should I ever install such an intrusive tool? Think about not finding the file you want and weigh that against how easy it might be for company secrets to be found, or a private conversation. Isn't our privacy online or offline worth the trouble of not finding an e-mail right away?

If you want to be able to search e-mail, use the fantastic e-mail client I use, The Bat! from Ritlabs.com. It gives you the ability to find text in an e-mail and I've been using it for years. You don't need these ultra-intrusive tools to get items found on your PC.
