The file is small enough but it does make significant resources.

I lifted this from the Web.


4. What are the system requirements for running Google Desktop Search?

Google Desktop Search is currently available for Windows XP and Windows =
2000 Service Pack 3 and above. To install, you must have administrator =
privileges
(home users shouldn't have this problem; people in offices might). It =
also requires 500MB of space available on your hard disk. We also =
recommend a minimum
of 128MB of RAM and a 400MHz Pentium processor.

Windows does have a find utility though which does not use all that disk =
space.


Hope this is helpful.
