The Google desktop search was one of the first of its kind, when it was launched for Windows, even as its fighting the desktop space with the likes of MSN desktop search, Coppernicus etc, they have launched the same for the Linux desktops. Not to forget that they had released the Desktop search for Mac. This Linux search can help you find files from your system and even retreieve your GMail and other saved documents.
The most interesting thing is that Google has moulded this to suit Linux users, as most users are programmers, it helps to find source code and other details easily, also it is released in various languages, English, French, Italian, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Dutch, Chinese, Japanese, and Korean --and it works with many versions of Linux too. The search can be accessed through the quickbar, or by pressing cntrl key twice.
With this launch, Google Desktop is now available for Windows, Mac, and Linux. Try it out now and read more on the Google Desktop Blog.
