14 DAY TRIAL // Google Desktop was the first downloadable application released by the Mountain View-based company that was meant to take the power of the famous search engine to the offline users. However, the program is now at the fifth release and is luring a considerable number of clients to the functions provided by Google Desktop. Today, the search giant's employees released a new version of application that offers support for 29 languages, including Hindi, one of the dialects more and more present in the Google services.
"We are happy to be releasing the Google Desktop 5 application in 29 languages, including our first release in Hindi. It's now easier than ever for people around the world to find content on their computer as well as on the web. We've redesigned the look and feel of the sidebar and many of our most popular gadgets. There are also previews for search results and warnings for suspicious websites, whether you're clicking on links from documents, IMs, websites, and more. No matter which country you're in, we hope that these changes make it easier to quickly and safely find the right information," Kevin Tom, Google Desktop team, sustained in a blog post.
In fact, what is Google Desktop and why is it so important for our computers? Trust me, it is, especially if you're using a Windows system. Why? Because it is able to display real-time results for your queries and find files on your computer with ease. Basically, it is based on the index process started at the first run of the program and then it searches only its own database.
Recently, Google released a Mac version of the application, making it available for all the Apple fans that were requiring a new edition of Google Desktop. At that time, many Mac users asked themselves a simple but ambiguous question: why should I use Google Desktop when I have spotlight?
