Google Talk search added to GMail

I'm not a fan of IM but this is cool. The ability to search your chat history already existed with Google Desktop but you were restricted to the machine you were chatting on. Now you can search via a centralized location.

The service has to be activated from your GMail settings for all your chats to be recorded. This could pose an issue with the person your chatting with not wanting their conversations to be recorded so they have the option to go "Off the Record".

Not bad for IM fans but for the rest of us we now have a useless link cluttering up the GMail interface.
