If you weren't already convinced that Google was developed by extra-terrestrials from beyond the milky way, this might just do the job. From what I've seen so far, Google Desktop Search is simply amazing. I'm not saying that I have already uninstalled these applications, but it seems as though their days are numbered.
Scott Hanselman has a good explanation of how it works here.
I was amazed how quickly it indexed my hard drive. This is truly a momentous day for the computing world.
UPDATE: Okay well it seems like part of it's speed comes from the fact that it's picky about what it indexes. Of a possible 156,962 files on my C: drive, it has indexed 28,328 (emails, IMs, cached web pages, and “files“). I still think it's the coolest thing to come around in a while - but it seems as though I will be holding on to X1 and Agent Ransack for the time being.
