Looks interesting. Although I must admit, as much as I cursed Spotlight for starting to search before letting me finish entering a search term, it has found things I thought I had long ago tossed out. I find myself using it more rather than less.

well, I did say the other day: Google stuff is spyware.
Y'all think Microsoft is evil? Google makes them look like Mother Teresa.
Just wait. You'll see.

I tried Google Desktop.
Noticed that it took 40% of my BlackBook's resources, even when not active.
Noticed the items that ansemond.com noticed.
Uninstalled. Dunno why I even wanted it. Just curious I guess.
My advice: pass.

I really dislike the fact that it doesn't use a standard installer, nor does it provide a log file of what was installed....just seems dishonest/fishy to hide that information.

Why not just use Locator as an alternate to Spotlight? fast, clean
I agree with some of the links, I use gmail regularly but would never install something with the potential to cause so many problems.
