Google has launched desktop search version 3.0 and lot of controversies and security risks are built in feature.It includes a controversial "Search Across Computers" feature which allows a user to set certain files held on a particular machine to be made available as part of the search results from another PC. The problem is that the information is actually held and indexed on Google's own machines for up to 30 days and is transported across the Internet, potentially making it vulnerable to interception.Personally i think its great feature for 95% users except 5% security phobia people.
