A new AIM logger from Google? Sort of...

[Someguy03]

Google has released its Google Desktop Search:

http://desktop.google.com/

It allows you to search your computer for certain files by "indexing" (recording so it can keep track of) these file types on your computer after installation and whenever your computer is idle:

- Outlook or Outlook Express email (whichever is your default mail application)
- AOL instant messages
- Text and other files
- Microsoft Word documents
- Microsoft Excel spreadsheets
- Microsoft PowerPoint presentations
- Web history
- Secure pages (HTTP)

All you do is type in a phrase, a word, or anything else you can think of and Google Desktop will actually search not just the file names, but the actual text inside your Word documents, Excel documents, Powerpoints, IM's, etc.

It actually logs AIM conversations in real time in order to keep track of them. So for those looking for a AIM logger, you have one. And you can easily look through the conversations this program records using an excellent search tool, Google.

It indexes and retrieves certain files on your computer, but not Trillian logs (yet). The Google Desktop team is planning to add additional files to index before it goes gold.

I will have to say, I installed it and I like it. I don't know if you've noticed, but now when I do searches from www.google.com the results also show hits from my computer! Way cool.
