Google has launched an updated beta version of its Desktop Search tool, adding a Sidebar interface with functionality that could pose a challenge to Microsoft and other rivals.

Google Desktop 2, available for free download at desktop.google. com, will index a user's hard drive and include the content of Word documents, Excel spreadsheets and other Microsoft Office files in results to keyword search terms. It also allows users to launch Microsoft applications from within a list of search results.

The new Sidebar interface lets users create a personalised environment with panels that display such things as dynamic content from RSS and a slideshow of photos recently accessed on the web.
