Kevin I have to agreed, the google desktop could be better. Last spring, Greg Moulliet put together a quick little searching application in Swing using Lucene.
It was more of a proof of concept or prototype than something ready to be open sourced or even supported. But for less than a weeks worth of evenings its pretty good. He still has it up on his site here: http://moulliet.com/indexer/DriveIndexer.zip I have not played around with it since March. But I recall that it requires IntelliJ forms and a bunch of open source libraries to compile and run. It indexes both office documents and PDFs. It may be a good reference to figure out how to create an open source Google Desktop Search.
