Google Desktop 2 combines desktop search functionality with Google Sidebar, a floating tool palette that provides current news and personalized information based on user preferences. You can download this software completely free of charge.
Currently, the Sidebar features dozens of applications from various companies, such as iTunes, Winamp Dictionary, and American Express, allowing users to track and verify online credit card transactions. The new software can also display geographical maps while browsing the web.
Additionally, developers can use simple JavaScript to create additional utility plug-ins for Google Desktop 2.
For the Enterprise version of Google Desktop, users will gain enhanced admin rights, integrated features, and security tailored for corporations, while employees can still search for data within the desktop, on the intranet, and across the web. This software is also offered free of charge.
On this occasion, Google launched a new blog dedicated to Google Desktop yesterday.
