Google's Desktop Search 1.0 has been recently released and there are already a couple of plugins for it, but is it possible to search password encrypted chatlogs, using a plugin wherein you enter your password?

There are already plugins for trillian and mIRC, and this should be a very handy feature, this will make it a lot easier to search in your chatlogs (If i am looking for something, and you don't know in which month you said it or tho who you said it, you have to go through alot of files, for example)

yea i was looking at the Google Desktop plugins, but i think if anyone makes this plugin it would have to be Patchou, as I don't think anyone else knows hwo to 'decrypt' them.

But i think it could be useful to have a plugin to search unencrypted chat logs, i know they're only text files and will be included in searches anyway, but it would be good to be able to specify to only search thru chat logs.

Edit: Whoops, didn't read very good, so forget that I said this

So someone probably should have to make a plugin for this filetype that can easily decript the files to search them. Is there nobody else who can decrypt these files, except Patchou. With the password, that shouldn't be too difficult?

if you read my post, it says that only Patchou would be able to decrypt the chat logs as no-one else knows how to do it (I assume).

Also i said search unencrypted chat logs are just text files

wtf....didnt msn release a desktop search recently....

yea but Googles came out first, its been out for about 5 months, but it was in Beta, but now its a full release

I've been using it for a reasonable amount of time, and it's really handy. To bad the final release isn't in dutch yet .

Yea I was thinking this when I got the new one last night ( which now supports searching vistied webpages in firefox insted of just IE) it would be pretty cool if it became an option in plus because im sure alot of plus users wish they could search there logs with google desktop

yeah, i want encrypted chat log searching! it's the main thing keeping me from getting google desktop. anybody know if the file format is open?

Hey,

Sorry to bring this back from the dead... but is this likely to happen? Would be very useful if it did...

Thanks

Patchou isn't only the person who knows how to decrypt the files. It's practically open source.

solus has published the file format, source code for utilising it, and a working encryption and decryption utility.
