Google Sidebar gives darn easy access to information on your computer and from the web. It’s a desktop search application that provides full text search over your email, computer files, music, photos, chats and web pages that you’ve viewed.

Once you make your computer searchable, Google Desktop puts your information easily within reach and frees you from having to manually organize your files, emails and bookmarks.

It makes searching your computer as easy as searching the web with Google! How’s that for lazy blokes?

Google Sidebar doesn’t just help you search your computer; it also helps you gather new information from the web that shows you your new email, weather and stock information, personalized news and RSS/Atom feeds, and more. Sidebar is personalized automatically, without any manual configuration required. It’s a simple matter of adding widgets. Simply visit the google widgets page and drag and drop! Over a thousand widgets available to spruce up that loserly looking windows XP desktop.

Coolness!
