A free solution from Google is intended for information retrieval on a personal computer, in the Internet and in the corporate network of an enterprise.

Google Desktop Search Enterprise proudly sports the ability to index and search documents in dozens of the most widely spread text formats, as well as electronic mail, audio and video files tags and images. To be remembered: to be able to tell the full text search application which files and folders to index, you have to install an additional component gdetweak. Without this addon Google Desktop Search Enterprise search engine will index all information on the user computer and in the network of the enterprise that it can access. Google Desktop Search managed to process 20 gigabytes of text within 8 hours 17 minutes. The size of the resulting index was 4,5 Gb. The search speed is quite satisfactory and is on the same level as other broadly acknowledged market participants.

Unlike iSYS and dtSearch, Google Desktop Search Enterprise by right boasts of the most user-friendly interface. However, as regards administering and setting up the work in the local network, it yields to its competitors, and the difference is quite tangible. The thing is, it is quite complicated to set up network operation as you would need it in a particular situation, because the full text search system tries to do everything for you. The only way to fine tune the information retrieval application is to install additional components. This is a major disadvantage. It goes without saying that as a desktop full text search system Google Desktop Search with the gdetweak component knows no equals.

But corporate search engine is still a long run from the current state. The promised search of documents with a similar content (in the Internet originally posed as similar pages), leaves much to be desired. Apparently, for this very reason it is not included either into the "global" desktop and network versions.

*The point of the matter is that full scale operation of the full text search application requires downloading and installing a large number of additional modules. In order to show the information retrieval application which files and folders to index, you have to install an additional component gdetweak. Without this add-in Google Desktop Search search engine will index the whole information on user computer and in the network of the enterprise that it can access. The same goes for all other features of this full text search tool. For example, support of archives.
