Fully Google-ized
I created a new category called workflow where I’ll tag my entries having to do with my personal workflow. This includes software I use, how I use it, etc.
I re-tagged my original post on how I switched to the Google Desktop Search at home. well, now I’ve switched at work. What lured me?
- Faster searches – MSN Search would frequently hang and report that it wasn’t running when I issued a search. It would also hang every time I rebooted, forcing me to shut it down.
- Integration with all of my machines. I can now search my archive mail on my laptop, even though the 5 years of Outlook archive files resides on my desktop.
- Encryption of your indexed data. This slows down things, but I don’t think I’ll notice it.
When Vista rolls out, my use of Firefox and Google Desktop Search may be threatened. Until then…
