Google Desktop Search ends the Beta stage

Finally Google ends the beta stage for its Google Desktop Search, and today a new release (not targeted as “beta”) is out.

The main news on this 1.0 release is that it’s now totally Firefox and Thunderbird compatible, it’s able to index the text on PDF files (really useful feature), now allows you to block secure HTTPS pages from indexing and automatically excludes all password-protected documents from Word and Excel.

Nice to see that Beta stages on Google’s product are ending? And when will be the moment for Gmail?

Checked it.
They solve it by disabling this app to other users. Only the one who installed it, can run it.
Uhh, it useless at home if you and your wife have different accounts.

Yes, as usual... not the right choice for a multiuser pc.
