If it makes a user's system open to public searches, then I don't see many folks installing the tool..

Did you read the article?
It indexes all files on your hard drive and allows you to search for text in them. Imagine you're a student with 300 different Word documents and poor file-naming skills and you need to find a specific essay. All you can remember from the essay is that you quote Albert Einstein. You can search for "Albert Einstein" and it'll find the essay. Or say you had ended up at a site about making wine that interested you, but you forgot to bookmark it and forgot the URL. This search tool will find the file in your cache.
And it doesn't open your system to public searches.
