Does anyone know of any tools to search shared drives and/or intranet? Sort of like the Google Desktop but including those areas would be great! :)

Thanks!

The new MSN tool does shared drives. Tool here (http://beta.toolbar.msn.com/); SearchDay review here (http://searchenginewatch.com/searchday/article.php/3447271).Slate (http://slate.msn.com/id/2111643/) also just did a rundown on other tools and should list if they do. There's also a desktop search matrix (http://www.goebelgroup.com/desktopmatrix.htm) you can look at elsewhere.

Thanks Danny! I will try MSN. Have you (or anybody else) heard anything about when Google will release a new version of their Desktop search?

Google's not said anything to date on new releases. I'm sure they'll come, but no timeline.

Ok. I picked the Copernic Search instead of MSN and it´s great. Fast and easy to pick which folders to index/search. I'm not missing any features but then again, I'm kind of a beginner.

All 5 of us here at my office installed it today :)

Thanks again, and keep up the great job with this site!
