And how does this hypothetical person get *to* your DQSD in the first place? Either someone has physical access to your machine, or you've been compromised and remote access is possible. Neither of those concerns me. This machine is used by me and my SO. No one else has physical access to it. I am connected to a Linksys wireless router with a hardware firewall, and also run a software firewall (Sygate Personal Firewall), which was in place before I got the router, and left up because it does not conflict. The local wireless net is secured. Every test I've run indicates I am fully stealthed, and the only connections to the outside world are those I initiate. I run automatically updated A/V software, check regularly for spyware/malware, and visit the Windows Update site weekly to check for new critical security patches. Oh, yes -- I *don't* use IE as my browser. I use Mozilla, with both SeaMonkey (the suite) and Firefox (the stand-alone browser) installed. IE is used only to visit the MS Update site and occasional compatibility tests on web pages. Depending upon just *where* I am poking around on the Internet, I may also forward through an anonymous proxy. And this machine has multiple physical drives. For the most part, stuff I might be concerned about anyone seeing is on drives *other* than drive C:, and Google Desktop has not been told to index them. Am I 100% bulletproof? Who knows? Do I lose any sleep over it? I don't. > Worse even, how does the Google.com integration work? Is it 'before' > the content hits my browser, or after - via script, BHO or somesuch > locally?

Again, not a concern here. I sweep for spyware regularly, using updated definitions. I use Ad Aware and Spybot Search and Destroy. The only things either finds are "tracking" cookies, which I consider a nuisance at worst.

Google also has an interesting response to this FAQ: <<< >>> 7. Does Google collect information about me?

I've been using Google Desktop since I wrote this search. But what do we really know about what Google does with the information they have access to? The search engine that has the term 'search engine' in its pocket has an unlimited potential for exploitation. If you thnk the number of people looking for holes in IE is bad because it has the market-share it does - consider the number of people looking for holes in Google! This month there were 3 vulnerabilities reported on Full-Disclosure, one of which was a significant programming error that exposed the way Google functioned. Uh - oops? The other two were 'mere' cross-site scripting vulnerabilities. That's no big deal, except it's Google. Anyway... the jury is still out as far as I'm concerned. Regards, Shawn K.

Hi Shawn, I tried the latest version with your #2 solution. Nothing happens when http://reliableanswers.com/x/dqsd/ggd-discover.asp is loaded and nothing happens on doing a re-scan. I don't know how to check if I have msxml installed, I read http://support.microsoft.com/kb/278674#kb2 and downloaded xmlversion.exe but It didn't tell me anything I understood! In windows\system (XP home SP1) I have msxml.dll, msxml2.dll, msxml2r.dll, msxml3.dll, msxml3r.dll. But then I reread you mail and opened it in IE! The page opens with the message : Failure! -2146828218 :: Permission denied. I did not understand Method 2. I copied the soucre for http://www.google.com/search?q=dqsd in there but was not sure what to do with that...what happens once you drop the source in? After 10 seconds or so in IE the message Failure! Could not determine key come up underneath it :-( I downloaded the script and when I opened the ggd-discover.html page in firefox it came up with a Javacript error "Failure! undefined::undefined". Trying it in IE (firewall turned off) added the text : Add the following line to your LocalPrefs.js file: ggd_googleKey = 'undefined'; to the page. Thanks for all the efforts.

RE: [DQSD-Users] Incorporate Google desktop search into DQSD - WORKS!
Hi Steve, > ...I'm not with you on this F8 thing. Could you > clarify where F8 gets pressed. Sure. Use the following DQSD searches (just to 'seed' it so I can make sure you have something to test it with). After each search just close the google window that opens. The searches are intended only to demonstrate the use of F8 later. freeware dqsd free dqsd free software free ftp software free xml software free xml sourcecode No make sure the google windows are all closed. Now drop to DQSD and type (without the quotes): soft With only those four letters typed press F8. It should change the content of DQSD to "free xml software". If you press F8 again it should cycle to "free software". Likewise, if you change the text to "ware" and F8 through the history you should hit "free xml software", "free ftp software", "free software", then "freeware dqsd" - if you've ever used the four letter 'ware' in anything else you should also see those after the ones listed here. When it gets to the 'end' of the listing it'll start cycling through the list again. This can, at times, be a VERY large list - try typing only 'c' and press F8 to see just how long it can get (assuming you use it to hit regular domains, too, this should be a pretty long list). Try it with 'free' or 'source' and you'll see how it works. Another spiffy feature is domain assertion. Like in IE, you can also type in a 'root domain' (like "msn" or "yahoo") and press CTRL+ENTER to have it automagically add "http:/www." and ".com" - I use this all the time without even thinking about it. People think I'm a really fast typist, but it's just that I know all the keyboard shortcuts to avoid typing everything out completely. ;) Regards, Shawn K.

Hi Tom, > > Shawn...triple checked this with no firewall, still > > comes back with Key: undefined..google hardly changed > > again in the last few hours! > > I just tried it again myself and it's working fine. > Are you sure you reloaded DQSD (!)? Aaaarrrh! This is very strange. Apparently it only works if the particular thread that is being used to 'discover' the key has been attached by the Google Desktop Engine - IOW, there's no way to force it or really ensure that it'll work 100% of the time. Use DQSD a *lot* and it should work, but if you don't, it won't! Okay. There's another way. For testing and to generate this entire thing I was using a static HTML file for initially running the code. Whenever 'that' works the DQSD version starts to work. But in order to get that to work you have to download the HTML version and run that separately. This could readily be a PITA for anyone wanting to use this script. I've got a couple options, let me know what you think: 1) Add the HTML file to the distribution. Set it somewhere in the distribution where it can be used via openSearchWindow() so it'll tel the user what to do when they /discover for the key. The benefit of this method is that it should work from now to eternity as long as Google doesn't change the way their code works, and it doesn't rely on any remote servers being accessible (outside of Google, of course). 2) Add a link within it to point to the script on my site ( http://reliableanswers.com/x/dqsd/ggd-discover.asp ). If you try this link with a non-IE browser or a remotely secured IE browser it will not work, since creating xmlhttp objects dynamically on a webpage is anything but secure. It *does* provide a download link, though, so if the code is broken by Google at some point all you'd need to do is download the latest version from the page and run that. Mind you XP SP2 users are going to have problems with it, too, as long as they are running in the limited local sandbox mode. :( I'm not seeing any good options here, really. I guess I should provide instructions on how to manually 'discover' the key, too, for those people that would rather do it themselves. I guess I could provide a textarea that you could 'drop' the source of a Google search into and it'll discover the key that way... Yeah, I'll add that to the web-version. Anyway, thought/opinions?

Hmmm
I dug around the code again, and tried it on my own system. Mine was
doing the same thing. Maybe Google changed their code? I changed the
parser to use a different regex pattern and now it's working again.
Try with this one and see if it works for you. Let me know and I'll

Search Google Desktop Search from DQSD
Since this search requires access to a 'google desktop key' that is
unique to your installation, you must first set a variable within
your localprefs as so:
var ggd_GoogleKey = "123456789";
You can have this script automagically discover your Key using
ggd /discover
Simply use this within your DQSD box and it'll report the results and set
the key for the current session. Once the variable is assigned in
LocalPrefs.js you will no longer need to run the discovery before using
the ggd search.
As with any other search that relies upon other services or applications,
you must have the related application/service installed. Please
ensure you actually have Google Desktop Search installed and
running before requesting assistance.

RE: [DQSD-Users] Incorporate Google desktop search into DQSD - WORKS!
Hi Steve,
> Yes!!! {home alone kid does fist punch)
Hehehe!
> Thank you very much indeed.
You're welcome.
Since it became apparent that this search posed a problem for people
to install, I've incorporated a method for 'discovering' the users
google desktop key automagically and provided the ability to set it
directly within your local prefs (so you don't need to 'discover' it
again every day).
I've attached the changed version. If you hit it as "ggd ?" it'll
tell you how to use the discover switch to find out what the local
google desktop key is.
On a completely unrelated note; I only installed Google Desktop to
play with since you mentioned that you needed a DQSD search for it.
Otherwise I probably never would have bothered with it. I haven't
decided yet if it's something I really care about. It's interesting
that I can now google (via DQSD, of course) normally and see what
results are related to my search in my Outlook, Windows Explorer and
IE history (it reads script and source-code files locally, too, so
it DOES help), and the Outlook part, at least, is very useful. But
I'm still not convinced that it's something I am willing to give up
my privacy for (read the google terms of service to see how they DO
track your usage of the Google Desktop).
Still contemplating features vs invasiveness. If it continues to
provide the effectiveness it has for searching my Outlook messages
and my 'webs' (currently developing 54 websites!) and programming
source code, this is going to be a rather difficult decision.
(I also updated the copy in CVS)

This time go to Google and actually search for something under Google Desktop. The number will be different, and the URL should look something like this: http://127.0.0.1:4664/search&s=286122300?q=dqsd Only take the number out of the there (in this case 286122300) and replace it with the one in the ggd.xml file. The 'missing semicolon' error is because DQSD searches are XML format, so any "&" characters must be XML encoded as "&" - the url you copied it from did not have it properly encoded. This is just a note in case anyone else ever sees this error. If you just copy/paste the number from above it should be okay for you. Regards, Shawn K.

Darn, I was afraid of that. It's using a special URL. If you click
on the 'Desktop' link at www.google.com what is the resulting URL?
Should be something like:
http://127.0.0.1:4664/&s=1138275984
If you edit ggd.xml and change the "action" to the URL it gives you
there, it should work fine for you. Let me know if that works.

Yes. I've attached a search that hits Google Desktop on your local
PC (ggd.xml).
I only just installed it, though, so I don't know for sure that the
URL's that it generates are truly consistent across every PC. For
example, your PC may have a different target than mine. Apparently
Desktop Search uses a key of some sort in the query URL. IOW, it may
not work for you without modification. Let me know if it doesn't
work and I'll tell you how to fix it.
To set it as your default search open up localprefs.js and add this
line:
defaultsearch="ggd";
