Google Desktop Search
I just found a piece of information I needed thanks to Google Desktop Search. I just totally doubt I ever would have found it on my computer without Google Desktop Search. It didn't take very long, I set the Desktop Search going while I did other work, but the info I needed turned out to be in a Web page that had been deleted. Google's cached version of the page gave me what I needed.
Now, as I say, I never would have found it without Google Desktop Search (it wasn't information in a form that the Windows search function would have located easily or at all). For me this is a life saver, but then I spend my life doing instensive projects that involve tons of information -- like Building Research Tools with Google for Dummies and then "filing" the info in a helter-skelter fashion. Google Desktop Search lets me be a little less than perfectly organized, and still retrieve stuff I've found before without having to re-find the wheel each time.
