	Preoccupations: Google Desktop
		Search Engine Lowdown: 'After testing Google Desktop for a couple of days, it is clearly a tool that will become a normal part of many users everyday searching habits.
		One, it means Google will have a major beachhead on users' computers - an index of everything on your hard drive. Yes, this raises privacy concerns, but Google has outlined their stance on this in the documentation, and (compared to Gmail) seems ready to handle this issue this time.
		Of course, it could be that some clever dev at Google had the presence of mind to index Firefox cache and Thunderbird's mail, and their marketing people just aren't mentioning it.

	How to tame Google Desktop
		Google Desktop Version 2, released in September 2005, also includes a companion sidebar, which pipes in a user's e-mail, news related to their Internet browsing habits, RSS feeds, weather reports and more.

		To secure the actual Google Desktop index -- in case an attacker manages to grab it -- set the Group Policy preference to "encrypt index." Note this only works on NTFS volumes.

		Google isn't saying much at this point about which additional types of files the product will eventually be able to search or when it will add new file types — except that full-text searching of PDF (Adobe Acrobat) files is on the list.
