Google Desktop 4.5 has improved the look and feel of the Sidebar, the vertical bar on your desktop which provides convenient, at-a-glance access to all sorts of personalized information. This cleaner and more integrated Sidebar helps you better organize your Google Gadgets. Simply drag and drop these gadgets anywhere on your desktop for easy viewing or use the add gadgets interface to find the latest gadgets that match your interest.

Improved indexing – When you move files, Google Desktop now updates your index more quickly and accurately. You can also manually re-index your computer by clicking the Google Desktop icon in the taskbar and selecting “Re-Index.”

Easily add content to your web clips gadget – This improved gadget now allows you to stay up to date on subjects you’re interested in by easily searching and adding web clips.

Removing deleted files from search results - Some users like the fact that Google Desktop saves cached versions of deleted files in case they need to retrieve them. But we know this isn’t for everyone. Don’t want to see deleted files in your search results? Just enable the “remove deleted items” option in your Desktop preferences.

    I like the new transparency look that was added. I think it’s much better than the previous version.

Got something to say?
