Organizing What You Find - Information Trapping: Real-Time Research on the Web - page 257

open the folder in which the ile resides. You can sort your results by relevance
or date (since Google's indexing your desktop, it can determine the ile dates
of items). All items are presented by default in the search results, but you can
also choose to see only e-mails, iles, Web history, chats, or other iles.
here may be a little additional information depending on the type of ile
being returned in the results. Image iles have thumbnails in the search
results, while text iles have caches.
You can use Google Desktop as just a simple search, but you do have some other
options that you can see in the preferences. he Desktop Preferences link is
next to the query box on the Google Desktop home page ( Figure 13.4 ).
Figure 13.4 control what's being indexed via google desktop's preferences.
Preferences are set up in tabs and include specifying which ile types you
want to index and whether you want to add any other iletypes for indexing.
(Google has a subset of its gadget page at desktop.google.com/plugins/c/index/
all.html?hl=en that will give you access to lots of additional indexing plug-ins,
from Belkasot's ICQ plug-in for GDS Pro to Larry's Help File indexer.)
