Google Desktop Search
I have been using the Google Desk Top search for about a month now and really like it except for one major issue - it doesn't seem to have the ability to re-index itself!
I get lots of SPAM, which goes to my SPAM / Junk mail folders, but google picks up that email and even when it has been deleted that stuff stays in the google index.
The issue is that a lot of the searches I do with google it points out that email that has been deleted.
I have deleted and re-installed the program to re-build the indexes. Is there anyway to have google automatically rebuild the indexes with out having to re-install the program?

I've wondered the same....
Also, I really, really wish it would index Word Perfect files. But I can't see any option for telling it to do so. That lack has me looking for another program.

Thank you!
I'm wondering if I'm doing something wrong, though. The readme says this:
To install, follow these instructions:
1. Run the "LarrysWordPerfectIndexer.exe" file in
the zip.
2. Agree to the registration with Google Desktop Search.
3. You're done! Your system will now be indexing WordPerfect
files.
During the installation process, I never get asked step 2 -- if I want it to register with Google. Does the plugin need to be in the same directory as GDS?
