Google Desktop Update Index Settings
Google has recently applied for, and been awarded, a patent that might bring Google Desktop Search back. The only catch is that it will also include web search over the desktop search function, similarly to Windows search in Windows 10. There are naturally inherent risks involved with allowing an external software application to share enterprise data over the internet. While you will probably be able to disable internet searches from any new version of Google Desktop Search, it still has the potential to expose sensitive data to the world. Lookeen wants your company data to stay with the company. With the Lookeen system, all enterprise data stays safely within your own company's architecture. Enterprise Search is nothing like web search, so companies should choose the best tool for searching their internal documents only.
