Google Desktop Search: "Google Desktop Search is how our brains would work if we had photographic memories. It's a desktop search application that provides full text search over your email, computer files, chats, and the web pages you've viewed.
By making your computer searchable, Google Desktop Search puts your information easily within your reach and frees you from having to manually organize your files, emails, and bookmarks." (via shellen.com/on the side)
I downloaded this application on both my computers this morning. It allowed me to search my MS Word documents without having to open multiple documents to find the one I needed--a big time saver! It's only my first day using this product and I'm already wondering how we lived without this for so long.
**UPDATE**
Please note that if you share a computer, there are some privacy issues associated with Google Desktop Search. Despite these issues, I really like this new Google product.
