Google Planning Desktop Software Search Tool - NYT

Just in from Reuters -- Google, the Internet search company, is planning to release a file and text software search tool for finding information stored on a computer, The New York Times said on Wednesday.

Google's software, which several people with knowledge of the company's plans told the Times is expected to be introduced soon, will allow the company to offer tools to search the desktop, a domain now controlled by Microsoft Corp.

Upgraded technology for searching stored information on a personal computer will be part of Microsoft's upcoming version of its Windows operating system called Longhorn, the Times said.

A Google representative was not immediately available to comment to Reuters.
