Have you tried Google Desktop?
It did not work well for me.
Initially I thought it didn't work well for me either, it crashed the
machine, but as I guessed correctly that was due to it trying to
access parts of my disk which were corrupted. After repairing the disk
it indexed it in a few days and since then (April 2008) it has been
working like a charm.
Being able to Google one's own disk as easily as the internet feels
paradoxically quite extraordinary. Particularly useful when it
contains a vast collection of text mode or OCR'd pdf papers
unavailable on the web!

It might be a good idea to chack what rights you gave to Google
regarding the data, possibly even when you signed up for gmail.
