Very interesting Mike, thanks for the info. I had installed the original
right after it came out, on an extra, little used PC at home. I wasn't sure
how much I trusted it at the time :-)

Subject: [PCTECH] The New Google Desktop Search

Has anyone tried the new Google Desktop search? I think it is at least
5 times better than before. They now allow plugins so that you can
index more items. They also index PDF files now. There is a plugin
called all text index (or something like that). I have added WDSc file
extensions to this list so now I can do a search in my RPG programs
for a certian function I have used before or something like that. I
have a list of these extentions on my website if anyone else wants to
try this out. Here is the URL:

I know this isn't directly related to WDSc-L, so reply to only PCTECH,
but I posted it to WDSc-L as an FYI.
