Google Desktop Search Remote Desktop Tool
The toys around Google's tools are growing... 
My last diascover is DNKA, an interesting Remote Desktop Search tool based on Google Desktop Search.
It acts as a web server (search server) by interacting as a layer between Google Desktop Search (GDS) and user and allow other users to search, view, download your files, emails, chats and web history.
Key Features- Simple to access the search (GDS) from another desktop
- Allow/Deny access from external hosts to the search server. By default (as installed) access is only granted to the local machine.
- Allow to change port number for web server
- Serve the files from a local machine
- Web interface for search server options
- Password protected access to search server options
- Runs automatically when a GDS start up

Personal opinions about this tool: interesting only if you have a LAN with different computers or a small office and you want to easily search every computer (you can authorize only the IP addresses you want). Obviously, there are the normal security issues of every GDS installation (it index all your files and everyone is authorized to access your machine can see them).
