SearchEngineWatch notes a batch of new plugins for Google Desktop search.

It’s impressive that Google is turning desktop search into a real platform; its competitors are lagging in this respect.

Here are a few of the current batch of plugins that caught my eye:

Google Desktop Extreme: Google Desktop Extreme provides an interface to the Google Desktop Search Engine, which adds unique functionality to make your searches faster and more productive. Features include real-time feedback (searches as you type), auto-complete, sorting, grouping, and filtering of search results.

Java source plugin: This plugin allows Google Desktop Search to index JAVA and JAV files. Includes syntax coloring in the cache.

Mp3tag Audio Indexer: Mp3tag Audio Indexer is a freeware plugin for Google Desktop Search which indexes metadata of audio files. It supports the following audio formats: AAC, APE, APL, FLAC, MP4, M4A, M4B, MP+, MPC, OFR, OFS, OGG, SPX, TTA and WV.
