Google's New Desktop Search App Is Like Spotlight for Windows

From PC Mag: Six months after its reveal, Google’s desktop app for Windows is now available to help you search your computer's files, other apps, Google Drive, and the web with various AI-powered Gemini features.

The Google desktop app for Windows is available worldwide in English and works similarly to Spotlight on macOS, offering a system-wide search that pulls in results from other services alongside Google's own tools.

The tool is accessible anywhere on your computer through a keyboard shortcut. To launch the app, download it from Google's website. Once installed, press Alt and the space bar together. A search box will appear, allowing you to add a prompt that Gemini will understand in context.

Results for internet searches will appear in AI Mode at first, but you can also head to the All tab to see the full results, or search for images, videos, and other multimedia via the tabs at the top.
