Введение
Компьютерная программа Google Desktop — компьютерная программа с возможностями поиска по рабочему столу, созданная Google для Linux, Apple Mac OS X и Microsoft Windows. Она позволяла выполнять текстовые поиски по электронной почте пользователя, файлам компьютера, музыке, фотографиям, чатам, просмотренным веб-страницам и отображать "Google Gadgets" на рабочем столе пользователя в боковой панели. В сентябре 2011 года Google объявила о прекращении поддержки ряда своих продуктов, включая Google Desktop. Причина заключалась в том, что "в последние несколько лет произошел значительный переход от локального к облачному хранению и вычислениям, а также интеграция функций поиска и гаджетов в большинство современных операционных систем. Теперь у людей есть мгновенный доступ к своим данным, независимо от того, находятся они в сети или нет. Поскольку это и была цель Google Desktop, продукт будет прекращен". Существует также версия, интегрирующая пользовательский опыт с аппаратным обеспечением поставщика. Google Desktop был официально прекращен 14 сентября 2011 года. Microsoft Windows

Конфиденциальность
Многие группы по защите конфиденциальности и гражданских свобод, такие как Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF), выражают обеспокоенность тем, что личная информация на компьютерах пользователей может быть легко скопирована с их жестких дисков. Кроме того, лицам, хранящим конфиденциальные данные на рабочих или домашних компьютерах, не следует активировать эту функцию. Установка этой функции может привести к нарушению законов о конфиденциальности и корпоративных политик, в частности SB 1386, HIPAA, FERPA, GLBA и Sarbanes Oxley. Дополнительные опасения связаны с упаковкой продукта и лицензионным соглашением с конечным пользователем – в частности, со степенью вмешательства в работу локальной машины и оговорками, согласно которым пользователи неявно соглашаются с будущими изменениями лицензионного соглашения, не имея возможности сразу же их увидеть.
Индексирование перспектив
Были проблемы с индексацией Microsoft Outlook. Удаленные сообщения электронной почты не удалялись из списков и требовали переустановки Google Desktop для индексации новой архивной почты. Для исправления индексации Outlook было выпущено несколько версий. В первой половине 2009 года многие пользователи Google Desktop сообщили о внезапной остановке индексации, когда размер индексного файла достигал примерно 4 ГБ. Полное удаление программы (включая ручное удаление файлов индексов) с последующей переустановкой временно решало проблему, но она возникала снова при достижении индексным файлом размера 4 ГБ. Проблема была устранена в Google Desktop Search версии 5.9. В настоящее время Google Desktop не индексирует электронную почту и контакты в Outlook 2010.
Индексирование Thunderbird
По умолчанию, Google Desktop не индексирует электронную почту в Thunderbird 3.
