-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Once installed on a host, Google Desktop Search provides some great capabilities: "Find your email, files, web history and chats instantly, view web pages you've seen, even when you're not online..." [1]. As a learning exercise, I decided to see if I could make desktop search results available remotely across a TCP/IP network. In fact you can, but such use is not part of Google's original intent or end user license agreement [2].
