Google Desktop for Mac kan onder andere zoeken naar informatie in e-mails, webhistorie en verschillende typen documenten en mediabestanden. Gmail-gebruikers op het Mac OS X-platform krijgen daarmee de mogelijkheid om ook offline door hun e-mails te zoeken. Daarnaast indexeert deze zoektool verwijderde bestanden en verschillende versies van bestanden. Indien een bestand per ongeluk gewist wordt, kan via Google Desktop in veel gevallen de informatie worden teruggehaald. Voor meer informatie verwijzen we jullie door naar deze pagina.
