Start

There are two ways to start Google Desktop for the first time:

1. Enter "gdlinux" in the console and press Enter;

2. press Alt + F2 on the disk, enter "gdlinux", and click Run.

In the future, you can use the menu Application | Google Desktop to start.

After the first startup, a prompt dialog box will pop up asking if advanced features are enabled, in fact, that is, whether to send anonymous user information to Google to help it improve its functionality (# I have enabled this feature to fully support global software products made in China)



(400) {this. resized = true; this. width = 400; this. alt = 'click here to open new window';} "onmouseover =" if (this. resized) this. style. cursor = 'hand'; "onclick =" window. open ('HTTP: // photo8.yupoo.com/20070629/222553_411153395.jpg'); ">

After Google Desktop is started, its icon is displayed in the system notification area (in the upper right corner by default.



(400) {this. resized = true; this. width = 400; this. alt = 'click here to open new window';} "onmouseover =" if (this. resized) this. style. cursor = 'hand'; "onclick =" window. open ('HTTP: // photo6.yupoo.com/20070629/222553_557113959.jpg'); ">

Set

Right-click the icon and select the menu item Index | Index Status to view the current Index creation (# most of Google Desktop Linux operations are based on browsers, so these interfaces will be displayed in the new page in your default browser ).



(400) {this. resized = true; this. width = 400; this. alt = 'click here to open new window';} "onmouseover =" if (this. resized) this. style. cursor = 'hand'; "onclick =" window. open ('HTTP: // photo8.yupoo.com/20070629/222553_48192868.jpg'); ">



(400) {this. resized = true; this. width = 400; this. alt = 'click here to open new window';} "onmouseover =" if (this. resized) this. style. cursor = 'hand'; "onclick =" window. open ('HTTP: // photo8.yupoo.com/20070629/222553_972019307.jpg'); ">

Click "Desktop Preferences" in the upper-right corner of the page to set the Preferences.

On the Local Indexing tab, you can set the file types and file paths that can be searched by Google Desktop. You can also add folders that you want to search by Google Desktop.



(400) {this. resized = true; this. width = 400; this. alt = 'click here to open new window';} "onmouseover =" if (this. resized) this. style. cursor = 'hand'; "onclick =" window. open ('HTTP: // photo8.yupoo.com/20070629/222554_1355448786.jpg'); ">

Under the Gmail tab, you can set the associated Gmail account so that you can directly search for emails in Gmail locally. (# Better than online search, further consolidating Google Desktop's position in my Ubuntu)



(400) {this. resized = true; this. width = 400; this. alt = 'click here to open new window';} "onmouseover =" if (this. resized) this. style. cursor = 'hand'; "onclick =" window. open ('HTTP: // photo8.yupoo.com/20070629/222554_1466477341.jpg'); ">

On the Display tab, you can customize Display styles that suit your habits, including the number of results in the quick search bar and the number of results on each page.



(400) {this. resized = true; this. width = 400; this. alt = 'click here to open new window';} "onmouseover =" if (this. resized) this. style. cursor = 'hand'; "onclick =" window. open ('HTTP: // photo8.yupoo.com/20070629/222555_1533035485.jpg'); ">

Currently, the Other tab only has the option to enable advanced features, which is the same as the one used to run Google Desktop for the first time.

Finally, don't forget to click Save Performance to Save your modified settings (then you can close your browser ).

Use

The simplest way is to press Ctrl on the keyboard twice in a row. The Google Desktop Search dialog box is automatically displayed (or hidden ), enter the keywords you want to search (if you are a newly installed Google desktop, the index may still be created in the background, and the results returned by the search may be incomplete ), at the same time, the following shows the closest search results synchronously.



(400) {this. resized = true; this. width = 400; this. alt = 'click here to open new window';} "onmouseover =" if (this. resized) this. style. cursor = 'hand'; "onclick =" window. open ('HTTP: // photo6.yupoo.com/20070629/222556_327537051.jpg'); ">

Select See all results in a browser to open the search result page in the browser. The style is very similar to that of the online Google search (# Only these results are local (or in your email) file Content, isn't it nice ?)



(400) {this. resized = true; this. width = 400; this. alt = 'click here to open new window';} "onmouseover =" if (this. resized) this. style. cursor = 'hand'; "onclick =" window. open ('HTTP: // photo6.yupoo.com/20070629/222555_2009612168.jpg'); ">
