Google has released a new version of its desktop search tool, adding a preview feature to help find information more quickly and making some improvements to the interface design.
The update, Google Desktop Version 5, also has some new security features to fight phishing and other online attacks. Its release comes after security researchers reported some security holes in the search tool last month.
Google Desktop is a free tool that indexes the content on a PC, including e-mail, text documents and Web pages visited, and makes it available for searching. It also includes "gadgets," or small applications that sit on the desktop and display news headlines, a calendar, a to-do list and other information. More @ I-World
