Personal Web

Both Yahoo MySearch and Google Desktop are able to limit search results to preffered website. Yahoo requests to manually specify pages to be indexed, while google index any webpage you have visited. This allows to manually or automatically create personal webs on specific subject or interest.

The next obvious step is to allow users search in your personal web. Children safe browsing, people with common interest, virtual online libraries , curiosity about others, ideas for birthday present ...

P.S.
Copernic Desktop might also be of interest.

I decided not to use the desktop search engines because of their privacy policy.

Update 7-feb-2005. MSN Desktop Search privacy policy is good enough. And their software works !!!
