Google Desktop is helps you seek out elusive information. When you first install the software it indexes everything on your hard drive - from documents and files to e-mail messages. You can search it either by clicking on the icon that appears in your toolbar or visiting http://desktop.google.com where the desktop search option is also displayed. Although Google Desktop is invaluable, it does throw up some privacy issues. If you install it on a public PC then anyone can search through your Web, e-mail and chat history unless you switch this option off.
