It sure has been a long time since I wrote an entry. A lot has happened, going to college, upgraded to a A64 2800+ system.
Google Desktop Search is one of the coolest things I've seen.
Simply install the tiny GDS program and let it index your hard drive. Then you can search for anything instantly.
The only downside someone might have is the index size, on my system with a 120GB and 80GB it totals about 1GB, which isn't bad IMHO.
I had written a plugin that allowed GDS to scan and index Matroska files a few days ago. It uses Haali's Matroska Parser library with HTML formated content for indexing. Today I packaged it up and submitted it to the official Google Desktop Search Plugin page.
