Surely use the tweak function and set the idle time longer?

Not to mentioned that it takes FOREVER TO THE NEW WAY THEY AUTO OPT-IN PEOPLE INTO THE GOOGLE PERSONALIZATION SEARCH> THIS SOUND MORE LIKE COMINIST OR SOCIALIST, NOT DEMOCRACY AS IT WAS. YES, THIS HAPPENDED PAST WINTER. iF YOU NOTICED YOUR SEARCH RESULTS ON GOOGLE.COM BEEN ODD. IS BECAUSE THEY ARE NOW READING ALL WHAT YOU TYPE IN IT AND THEY ARE TRYING TO SERVE YOU WITH CUSTOMIZED SEARCH BASED on your previews search queries. WHICH IS STUPID>> PEOPLE CAN NOT BE IMITATED>> STOP THIS NONE SENSE> People are complex. Google is starting to act like the jerk that reads you couple of times and think they know you. People are complex. Personalization cannot imitate emotions. This is sooo annoying.

I cant even search like before. jerks. This is contrary to what google used to stand for–Free information. Now Google is like .. “HERE this is what I THINK you like,” because im smarter than you. HOW INSULTING!!!. I like we are children that mom tells you what is good for you, and takes over your free F will.

Well. I unistalled google desktop right when it was indexing 70%. I figured it wont be any problem. if there is any, the unistall system will tell me is not possible due to indexing or to stop indexing first. But things seem to work out. I unistall just fine, only to find out (after i re-boot) that my labtop now is using lot of CPU, is like something is workign on the background. Its been couple of hours since i did that, and there is shit constanlly runing in my pc. As if still indexing or just got hung up on somethign. like stock. I went and do more research, and some google tech guy posted that some people need to remove stuff in the registry and on C drive data applications. After that, i reboot, and same problem. I then did system restore to lats week (when my pc was runing fine), and nothign

FUCKING ASSHOLES FROM GOOGLE. They are becoming like NARCISSISTIC AND SLAPPY with their products. Im soo piss they F. my labtop now. Bring new. Jerks.

Interesting article, it’s good to see a lot of people still critical about Google’s software. I’ll know to avoid it!

Good article!

Fred, you are a lifesaver, that was excellent advice.

Office Coffee, good idea. How about a pop-up every hour (or whatever) that says “will start indexing in 1 minute unless you click here”?

Does anyone know of a utility that will allow me to pause indexing for say 8 hours – from when I arrive at work until when I leave?

If you right click on the google desk top symbol you can get it to pause for 1 hour at a time. If you are doing a ton of work, just pause google. When you want to search your computer, and google is damn fast, you still have the function.

I’ve also been frustrated with the performance issues using Google Desktop Search. I switched to Copernic, but had to disable the Copernic Firefox Plugin in order to keep up performance at a normal level which is not really necessary after all.
