Desktop Search - the search engine war widens

A market leader such as Google blasts ahead. However, now, Yahoo has announced that they follow suit in January. "The initial beta of the desktop client will let users search e-mail and files from their hard drives."

Earlier than Yahoo, Ask Jeeves, Microsoft's MSN and AOL have all confirmed to date that they will launch desktop search applications. What does this mean, overall? That there was a space of 1-2 months for Google to reap the benefits of this innovation. But at least, it rattles the markets and that is great. To "misquote" Fortune Magazine. Yes, Google is worth US$165 a share, as long as they keep doing this.
