	Update: Google preps desktop search application \| InfoWorld \| News \| 2004-10-14 \| By Juan Carlos Perez, IDG News Service
		Google Desktop Search has been designed to refresh its index of local desktop files continuously, instead of for example once every day, so that it can search e-mail messages seconds after they are received and files seconds after they are created, Google said.
		Google Desktop Search can be configured very granularly, so users can instruct the application, for example, to index all visited Web pages, none at all or all with the exception of those belonging to a specific URL (uniform resource locator) domain, she said.
		However, when the user searches both his desktop and the Internet, the results from both searches are combined and sponsored ads accompany the query results, she said.

		In the end, the core search and indexing code (like Lucene provides) is only a small part of the application, and Java, while cross-platform, requires a runtime that’s too big for convenient download, and doesn’t give easy access to platform-specific scheduling features.
		There’s still hope for mass-market Lucene-based desktop search: GCJ is cross-platform, makes it easy to invoke platform-specifics, and may soon have a tiny runtime.
