Version: Google Desktop Search 1.0
Pros: I constantly use Google as my web search program. This program is exactly the same, but on My Computer! I highly recommend it
Cons: If you delete a file, it might appear anyways and have some of the document cached

Version: Google Desktop Search 1.0
"Keyword search THAT WORKS for your hard drive!"
Pros: If you like 'keyword' searches, this one is the best I have seen. It's like GOOGLE for you computer. I have found EVERY file that I have search for, including files that I forgot even existed, using G.D.S 1.0. Indexing was done with no problems, no slowdown of my system, and finished without me having to 'close all programs, and restart'. It is the only software that I have given a 5 star to.
Cons: The only downside is that if you have a lot of files that are duplicates or files with similar names they will ALL be found in your seach.

Version: Google Desktop Search 1.0
"Getting results quickly is the key"
Pros: I've been running multiple desktop search engines for months (Google, Microsoft, Copernic) and Google has come out the winner because it displays results so much quicker. The web brower-based interface is crappy (MS and Copernic's are better), but it seems to take too long for them to spit out the results.
Cons: Difficult to filter content based on things like date, time, author, etc.
