Google Desktop vs Apple Spotlight

| Comments

I needed to find a document on my hard fast and since I use an Apple Mac Pro I clicked the Spotlight icon to start my search. However it was talking too long so I decided to try the Google Desktop search. What a difference, it came up with the needed document within seconds. I'll keep testing both and see what happens. My main concern with Google Desktop was with the amount of resources it uses when indexing.
