14 Comments
Google on Wednesday released the final version of Google Desktop 3.0, adding a new feature the company calls the Quick Search Box. By pressing the control key twice, a search box will appear in the middle of the desktop to facilitate Web and local searches. Hitting control twice more makes the box disappear.
Other new additions to Google Desktop 3 include searches across multiple computers, the ability to send Sidebar items to friends, deeper customization of Sidebar features, and password-protected search. The software includes a Google-like search function and Sidebar, a movable palette of various mini-applications.
