Go Google yourself

Google Desktop has been released in beta. This indexes your local PC and then puts in a little local webserver. No, don't panic its only accessible from local host so its not really a security issue. But there may be other security issues. In my case Google Desktop was particularly upset about me having eTrust Suite from Computer Associates installed. So it did not get installed and instead took me to this support page.
Hope they release a revision soon that works with my system. I guess if it works on my office PC it will be good enough.
