I'm looking for an alternative to the dead google search for desktop (http://googledesktop.blogspot.com/2011/09/google-desktop-update.html), do you know of any alternative?
I use "desktop search" apps as my UI, forgoing and hiding as much as a I can, things like the Dock and Start Menu.<p>On Mac, I use Spotlight. CMD+Space to activate.<p>On Windows, I use the default Windows search functionality in Windows 7, it's fantastic. Windows key to activate.<p>On Linux, I used Beagle a bit.<p>Here's a list for further research: <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_search_engines#Desktop_search_engines" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_search_engines#Desktop_...</a>
