Project Computing - Google Desktop Proxy

Sounds like a bad idea already, doesn't it?

While the Google Desktop itself merely searches your own computer for... whatever it was you lost or can't think of... this search service allows virtually anybody else to search your computer using a variation on the service.

How it works:

This program is a very simple proxy. A browser or other program on another computer can open a connection to this program which passes the request through to the Google Desktop web server on the same machine as the proxy. Because it is on the same machine, the Google Desktop web server processes the request and passes the result back to the proxy which in turn sends it back to the originating requestor.

This Java program comes with no support or license [hope you can guess why] but it has some interesting possibilities, not the least of which might be a neighborhood P2P Network.

If you don't mind strangers rifling through everything on your computer, that is. You first!

Hi, BTW. I'm new here.
