It’s nice to see them catch up with what GNOME has had built in and nicely integrated for a long time, including features such as:

  • Quick search box with integrated Web and desktop search, much like the Deskbar-applet
  • Searching Gmail and Web history much like Deskbar-applet plugins for same, and of course
  • Document and local email indexing and search, such as the one provided by both Meta-tracker and Beagle

GNOME still doesn’t submit your information to Google or phone home though, so if you miss such features (which can be very useful in fact,) go ahead and download Google Desktop’s brand new Linux version.
