Google Docs Storage Increased: Users Get More Space To Store Files Online
SAN FRANCISCO — Google Inc. is expanding its Internet warehouse so people can stash more digital keepsakes from their life and work.
The upgrade announced Tuesday will provide one free gigabyte of storage to all users of Google Docs, the company's online suite of word processing, spreadsheets and other commonly used programs.
The expansion will let people store photos, video and a variety of other computer files that previously couldn't be accommodated. Each file can be as large as 250 megabytes, and those needing more space can buy it at prices ranging from $17 annually for an extra 5 gigabytes to $14,000 annually for an extra 4,000 gigabytes.
Google already offered unlimited storage for files that were automatically converted into the Docs format. With the change, Google Docs will store files in their original format, and only those will count toward the limit.

Ooh, I really like the idea of this TV coming to me.
Unfortunately, I can't afford to buy anything until next month.
In Gmail, is it possible to search for messages that contain specific strings? Not words, strings.
I think you can use quotes to define strings just like in regular Google.
Jon,
can you provide an example?
If you can search for it in google search, you typically can search for it in gmail. I don't think gmail is particular good at searching within words, but maybe with the use of an *, you might be able to do that.
I mean the other way, Jessica. For example, if I search for Viagra, I want to catch Viagra, ViagraAndCialis, CialisViagra, FreeViagra, etc.
Using an asterisk doesn't seem to work.
Oh, gotcha. I feel like there should be a way to do it, but I don't know the notation.
An exclamation mark? I don't know Google search, but in some databases, an exclamation mark means "anything that srarts with this."
Which admittedly doesn't catch everything you're looking for, but it may be a start.
Jon,
I found a getsatisfaction thread where people are pissed off they can't do this.
My only suggestion is that if you know which terms might crop up, you could construct the search like this:
Viagra | Viagraandcialis | CialisViaga
or further modify it to search in subject area?
BTW, the | can be replaced with OR - in case you didn't know it.

Yeah, I'd found something similar, but it was from a couple of years ago. I was hoping they'd since added some flexibility. No such luck, it seems.
