Google Desktop, a search tool powered by Google technology, is a great alternative to the Spotlight feature on Mac. It indexes the content on your hard drive, as well as information from Gmail and browsing history. Similar to Google search results on the web browser, Google Desktop displays search results by pulling files from your hard drive. The number of files found is shown at the bottom of the search engine. Additionally, users can search using a pop-up window that appears when the command key is double-tapped. By typing the first few letters of the file, application, or element being searched, Google Desktop will list all items that match those letters. Furthermore, Google Desktop offers a convenient way to access previous versions of files by creating snapshots and saving them in a cache on your hard drive each time a file is viewed. This feature makes it easy to retrieve and compare different versions of files when needed.
