Maybe, who knows. But they have to know, that our project is existing, maybe then they would help us. I see a huge potential, the desktop search could be our only search engine, saves a lot of time and nobody gets the stupid idea to use MSs desktopsearch (even if I think, that it wont run that good...) or something like the sidebar planned for Windows Vista (doesn't look like it will be included in RTM) could be integrated, using google services like search (using the adsense technology, but instead of showing ads showing "ordinary" searchresults) or maybe even things like wheather (don't know if google wheather is existing...) and of course shecking your googlemail. But such potential exists for a lot of companies, so I think this is a topic that will be current for a long time...

I agree. Google employees can spend 20% of their time on a special programming project; I wonder if any of them would choose ReactOS. On Dec 8, 2005, at 7:02 AM, Jerry wrote:
I think Google would be a great partner with ReactOS. We may just what to ask them to sponser it.

I think integration with Google using C APIs would be preferable. Google would be doing reactos a really great deal if the desktop search engine was opened up and given to the project. Even if by binary only distribution files. Since gds works on windows 2k and up it should be a great addition to the project. Or perhaps addition of an indexing engine to search for files and folders and index them when the system is idol.
