Every body is familiar with Google Desktop Search(GDS). Now Goolag is a PHP application designed to operate Google Desktop Search (GDS) from a remote computer. GDS can only be used on the computer on which it is installed. Goolag was developped to work around this limitation. The program use GDS’ official API and some undocumented GDS features to perform a search, then processes the XML data sent back by GDS. I was thinking of the same application from the past two months, coz I want to index some architecture documents, which can be pdf documents, on the server side. But my thing goes on annotating the architecture documents, and then searching these annotated XML files, But this application seems to be really useful to my work, Have to discuss with my prof.
