Google Desktop for Mac Released

Google has launched Google Desktop for Mac. This is the first time Google will roll out its desktop tool for Mac users. Mac users already have a search tool with Apple’s Spotlight. Google claimed that its new tool would co-exist with the Mac OS X 10.4 feature.

“We designed Google Desktop for Mac to be a companion for Spotlight,” said Rose Yao, Google Desktop for Mac Product Manager. “Google Desktop searches users’ Web history and you can set it up to search Gmail too.”

Google Desktop also claims to use any Spotlight plug-ins users have on their systems.

“This is a big step for Google on the Mac platform,” Yao said. “If you know how to use Google, you know how to use Google Desktop for Mac.”
