Google’s Desktop Search 1.0 Goes Gold

Google has taken the BETA tag off of its popular DesktopSearch. This may have been the shortest beta period for any product from Google.

The final version, released today includes support for Mozilla, Firefox, Thunderbird, and more. Google has also added plug-in support for the GDS tool to give it even more flexibility. Just glancing through the plug-ins, I noticed a plugin for Trillian Pro 2, mIRC, and OpenOffice.org.

Since I’m at work, I can’t check to see if the new version allows you to uninstall many of the default (and useless to me) searches, like MS Office or AIM. Someone want to try it out and let me know? :p
