Google plans to launch on Monday an updated version of its desktop search tool with enhancements including the ability to search the full text of Adobe PDF files and the metadata of multimedia files, a Google executive says.
Until now, the Google's desktop search tool could only index the names of PDF and multimedia files, such as image, music, and video files. But the new version improves on this by indexing the entire content of PDF files and the metadata of multimedia files, such as song and artist names in music files, says Nikhil Bhatla, a Google product manager.
With this version, the product officially exits its beta, or test, phase and is now considered a finished product that, as is customary for all software, will continue to be regularly enhanced.
