Google Desktop Search

Is anyone familiar with Google's Desktop Search program?

I am using Microsoft's Desktop Search because I can limit it to indexing just my e-mail and the My Documents folder.

I like Google's Desktop Search, but I don't want it to index all my hard drives. I can't see any way to limit it in it's options to just my e-mail and My Documents folders.

Anyone have any ideas about it ???

My idea: Go to add/remove programs and CAN IT!! lol

I dont like Google Desktop. If you are a multi-tasker, it will really start to bog things down when it starts indexing your whole computer... pain in my @ss

I like the extra plugins, but I guess it's just not the right solution for me...

I'll just continue using Microsoft's Desktop Search.
