Google.com Integration is a feature of Google Desktop that inserts a line of Desktop results above your Google Web Search results. Although your personal and web search results are shown together on your computer, your personal information is not sent to Google.
If you don't want to see Google Desktop results on your web search results pages, you can turn this feature off. Just go to the Apple menu > "System Preferences." Click "Google Desktop," then click "Search Results" and deselect the "Enable Google.com integration" box.
It is somewhat convenient to see these results in the search results, but can I trust Google?

i also thought the idea of google/internet desktops to be uncomfortable. i am not ready to have someone read my doctoral thesis on harry potter, the hero, and food yet, especially if their not going to pay for it! it's that good. . . . But i have no doubt google would claim ownership of everything embedded into their desktop. this is a good thing, however.
i'll google you with my all seeing eye.
