The added benefit of Google’s Desktop Search for Enterprise for businesses is that this product is encrypted added a whole new level of security to search. Google already has Boeing and Morgan Stanley onboard for the Enterprise edition and other big names will follow.

- View web pages you’ve seen, even when you’re not online
- Search directly from your desktop with the Deskbar
- View search results from your desktop, intranet and Google.com
Since we’re talking about the Google Desktop Search for Enterprise with the emphases on “Enterprise”, what would Mr. Spock say about the new technology? “Interesting” may be one utterance or “I find this to be very logical” could be something he would likely say. No matter what, its apparent that Mr. Spock would give two ears up for the new Google Desktop Search for Enterprise. Isn’t that right, Captain?
