Google To Launch Desktop Search Tool

Google To Launch Desktop Search Tool 05/19/2004 02:57 AM
I assume this will surprise all of about three or four people who haven't been paying attention, but Google is preparing to laun ch a desktop search tool that will let you search through your own hard drive (in exchange, I assume, for contextual ads). The press will make a big deal about this and how it's a way for them to challenge Microsoft's Longhorn offering, which will have greatly improved local search. I'm not sure it's that interesting. Longhorn is so far off that it's really not worth speculating whether or not this product actually competes with it or not. The more interesting question is, if this local search tool involves contextual ads, will the privacy folks start complaining again that Google is now snooping through your hard drive?

Puffin is Coming

Puffin is Coming 05/19/2004 01:13 PM

Goo gle ready for clash with Microsoft: Google is planning to release a PC search tool for indexing files and such on your machine.

Google's software, which is expected to be introduced soon, according to several people with knowledge of the company's plans, is the clearest indication to date that the company, based in Mountain View, Calif., hopes to extend its search business to compete directly with Microsoft's control of desktop computing.

It's code-named "Puffin," which I really hope is going to change before release. This report goes on to mype the looming Google - Microsoft battle by saying that:

[Longhorn] ... will have a redesigned file system, making it possible to track and retrieve information in ways not currently possible with Windows software.

Oh. but it won't, making Google's plans all the more timely. Redmond may have unwittingly surrendered a market here.
