Google Desktop Search Available!

I have just learned (through Ali's weblog) that google has released its beta version of desktop search engine. This desktop engine can index Microsoft Outlook/Outlook Express, Word, Excel, PowerPoint files as well as local web history, text files and even AOL IM based on users preferences configuration. The search results are presented in web browser and can be sorted by date or relevance. It is also possible to filter results to show only files, emails, chats, and web history. The search engine starts indexing when the system is idle so it doesn't impress system performance during activity.
I have been using Microsoft "Lookout" since its release and experienced performance issues but didn't notice any such issues on Google Desktop Search Engine yet.
