Google Desktop Search

Hi everybody!

I decided to test Google Desktop Search yesterday, 10-14-04. It's supposed to seach almost any kind of information "inside my hard-drive". In the beginning I put my nick to play with, Dogo. The research came with a bit more than I expected 'cause the engine went to some webmail based accounts: Yahoo and MSN. I could click in the results and opened my Yahoo Mail inbox page without a password. Maybe some password lost in my HD? Maybe some page cached? I really don't know yet but didn't like to see my mail exposed this way. Well, I just used for maybe 20 minutes until the index was being prepared. I uninstalled the tool.
Did someone try it? Any opinion?

Cheers!
