Google Desktop updated for Leopard
Not content with providing us Gmail users with the much-craved IMAP access, Google has announced an update to their Desktop search product designed to make it purr with OS X Leopard. Advice from the Googlers is that 'you should install this Desktop update before upgrading from Tiger to Leopard to ensure that Desktop works properly on Leopard."All of Google's other Mac products (Earth, SketchUp, Notifier and Picasa Web Albums Uploader) apparently work just fine with Leopard. Google Desktop for Mac, true to form, remains a beta.

Not to disparage the product, or Google for that matter, but with Quicksilver and Spotlight, who uses Google Desktop on a Mac?

I use it regularly. One of the useful features is that if type in a persons name who is in address book they show up on the search dropdown with their phone #. No need to open address book, a huge time saver. Spotlight is good for some things, G desktop others... Both rock IMHO

Blah. Until they get rid of that crappy updater, Desktop and Notifier stay off my systems. Imagine if every software vendor used its own special installer and insisted on running a daemon in the background at all times.
Irresponsible software development.

I would use it if it could index the contents of networked drives, which I can't work out how to do with Spotlight on Leopard.
