There's no evidence here that Google Desktop Search is a security risk. If your computer contains unencrypted sensitive data, that's a security risk by itself.

If you run an IT department, then yes, you should know everything that's running on the machines and what it does, and yes, you should think carefully about letting users run Desktop Search.
