Google Desktop is still a great option though. The best part is you can hit ctrl-ctrl from wherever you are and it pops a search box up on the screen that will get you to what you want in no time at all- even to launch applications. GD does create index files on your local disk. This is the inverted index mapping search terms to places where they can be found. I haven't found this set of files to be anywhere near 10G. Perhaps you need to limit the amount of data it is searching. Searching in Outlook 2007 is quite a bit faster, if you let it install the new Microsoft search engine, also part of Windows Vista.

I installed Copernic desktop search and configured it to index all of my emails and the local & network drives of interest. Now I can find just about anything I need quickly.

I used the Google desktop search tool and found a 10G file created on my hard drive. Does this create a large file on your hard drive?
