This is doable but would take some work, most likely more than its worth. What featured are you trying to get out of Google Desktop?

I mean a tool that can search the whole device (contacts, text files, filenames, e-mails, text msgs etc.) for any given string of characters. Isn't anybody else missing that on Maemo? I've been looking around for this for a while, but all I found was the syllabus of a "Desktop search hack fest", which seems to not have produced any installable outcome yet :-)
Cheers Ben

All times are GMT. The time now is 17:08.
does anyone know whether it is possible to install the Google Desktop app for Linux on the N900?
Or is there a working alternative for performing (global) desktop searches?
Google Desktop seems to need glibc 2.3.2+ and gtk+ 2.2.0+
but since I have almost zero knowledge of Linux, i Don't know whether these are present in Maemo 5.
thanks, Ben
