On his brand new Sysinternals blog, Mark Russinovich tackles deficiencies in the Google Desktop search engine. Mark points out that the Google desktop only indexes up to the first 10 pages of a document.

While I'm sure that there is some very sound logic, somewhere, that shows that if information that is relevant to a query and therefore needing to be indexed is not in the first 10 pages of an indexed document, than it isn't relevant after all and therefore shouldn't be indexed. However, I have to disagree with this. I write technical documents all the time that have key pieces of information contained deep within, often 30 to 40 pages in. With this tool, these hits would be missed and information lost.

I'm interested in finding out the results from the rest of his tests with the other engines.  At the very least Google should have a deep indexing feature, for the real geek in us that just wants ever last piece of info they can get.

Stay tuned for more from Mark.  Even if you don't care about this particular issue, I suggest you make a note of Mark's blog. This blog will be a treasure trove of interesting and insightful information.
