Precipitate Searches Your Google Docs and Bookmarks from the Desktop
Posted by Adam Pash at 8:00 AM on July 8, 2008
Mac OS X only: Free, open-source tool Precipitate indexes your Google Docs and Google Bookmarks, making them searchable from either Spotlight or Google Desktop for Mac. Precipitate provides full search on the entire content of your Google Docs documents, while on Google Bookmarks Precipitate only indexes your bookmark title and any other metadata you added when you created the bookmark (though bookmark content search could be awesome). Precipitate may also support indexing of other Google cloud apps in the future, like Picasa web albums, but the initial Docs and Bookmarks support is a great start. Precipitate is free, Mac OS X only. Thanks Nicholas!

This is great becasue it should be able to search shared docs then, allowing easy access to live documents.

Anyone know of anything similar to this on the PC? Sounds like a great idea to me.

man, it's difficult to understand the article headlines when you don't know that one of the words is the name of an app... I had to re-read this one three or four times before I realized "precipitate" was a name.
