Hi Eric, thanks for dropping by (and sorry for the late reply)!
With one user it's not so bad, now imagine you have 4 or 5 as I did :(
I am now using windows Vista mostly (as I'm currently working with a lot of Microsoft stuff) and the built-in search in Vista is good enough for me.

oh yeah. I also found out just recently that my google desktop (uninstalled 3 months ago) is using 14GB for its index.

Oh thanks for this announcement. I am actually using Google Desktop for few weeks now and I have seen that my disk space is going somewhere :)) Now everything is clear for me. But why google has done such a space - eating client? I can't understand this thing. Anyway thanks for this post, I will be waiting for other interesting posts from you.
