Ever wonder why you can search the entire World Wide Web instantly, but it takes 20 minutes to find a file on your Windows desktop? Google has just fixed this glaring injustice with the public release of the free Google Desktop Search beta. Once you download the program, it’ll take an hour or so to build a local index on your computer and then your life will be vastly improved. You’ll be able to find any document, email or cached browser page on your computer by filename or internal text, instantly. This is fantastically useful.

I’ll never have to sort my email again. Google continues to make good things.
