At home, I have everything sorted and so I hardly ever search for something. I just know where things are. At work, however, it is a complete different story. Becuz of which, I usually end up installing a desktop search agent.

I have been using Google Desktop (GDS) over the Windows native indexing feature. Though even that sux when it comes to code searching. I just end up using UltraEdit's 'Find in files…' feature. It would be really nice if GDS could add a few tricks like search in folder and stuff like that.

But noooo, they can't do that. Instead they can add some fancy ass feature like gadgets. For the people who don't know every Tom, Dick and Harry at the moment comes with gadgets. Not to mention the ones that are only alive for gadgets. It's freaking annoying.

Gadgets and widgets were cool and all, but in all reality I don't end up using it. And if I want to use it, I'd turn on something that only has gadgets or widgets like Konfabulator Yahoo Widget Engine or Rainmeter.
