Hi,
The advantages offered by the Google Desktop Search Engine are far too many to count. However, listed below are some of the advantages that make the tool a must have:
The tool is tightly integrated with the website. Hence, when you search for something on the website, the result page will display results from your PC (if any) and the web.

The tool duplicates the history of your Internet Explorer. Hence, even if you delete the cache of your browser, they are still available with the tool.

The indexing is performed when the computer is left idle. Hence, it does not slow down your work. If you work very extensively on your PC, it is advisable to leave it idle for sometime so that it can catch up with all the indexing.

Unlike, the Window Explorer Search wherein you have to specify the drive and folder path, the Google tool can return the results instantaneously without specifying any drive or folder path.

When you want to search for a mail in your Outlook application, the Google search returns results faster when compared to the search results of Outlook itself.

Text snippets are displayed on the result page. Hence, you get an idea about the result without actually opening the document.

You can use it on GMAIL and can even read your old GMAIL mails when you are offline.

The Google Desktop Search was developed with the intention of bringing the Google search technology to the desktop. By installing it on your PC, you have access to your own private Google server. It goes on as a background process and indexes all documents, videos, music files, incoming and outgoing email messages, instant messaging chats and just about everything else that is available on your machine.!
