Google Desktop in Firefox

First of all, thank you Marc for telling people about the bar. Secondly the feedback here has been very helpful..please keep it coming. Lastly, we just created an AdSense toolbar, and incorporated the Google Desktop search. The left menu gives you links to your adsense account (reports, settings,...) The engines include all of the Google engines. http://www.firefoxtoolbar.com/adsense Any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks, -Pat

Both Oz and Brad say above that Google Desktop search works. However, neither say whether it works on a Mac or not. I'm running the toolbar on a Mac and it does _not_ work. So, which is it, fellows?

I think the value in this toolbar is that It puts the ability to search allof your Google stores (Desktop, Web, Gmail) in one place. While you can do some or most of what this toolbar accomplishes without adding anything (as Brad points out above - even in Netscape), it's a welcome aggregation of functionality in a single bar

On my machine, Firefax and Netscape have no trouble with Desktop Search, without additions.

i am using firefox 1.0 rc on windows xp. when installation, it simply say compatible only with 0.9 and 1.0 pr.

If your default browser is firefox, Google Desktop Search works from Firefox anyways.

Stefan: Sorry for the confusion. I incorrectly stated that this toolbar allowed Firefox on the Mac to use the new Desktop Search. The post has been corrected.

You may have hacked your Deskbar, but what is it, that actualy indexes the documents on the Mac? AFAIK, Google Desktop comes with a client which indexes your disk when the machine is idle. Now you say this works on a Mac? I am confused. Stefan

I tired this, but I don't see how it's going to work on a mac since there's a windows executable that must run in the background for desktop search to be active. How did you manage this?
