Google Desktop is an application from Google, which indexes the contents of your hard drive (including applications, most files, PDFs, as well as web histories from Safari, Firefox, and Camino) and makes it searchable a la Spotlight.

Google Desktop for the Mac is a Universal application, requires OS X 10.4 or later, and is free.
