According to Microsoft: ‘Windows Search 4 lets you perform an instant search of your computer. It helps you find & preview documents, e-mail messages, music files, images, & other items on the computer. The search engine in Windows Desktop Search is a Microsoft Windows service that is also used by programs such as Microsoft Office Outlook 2007 & Microsoft Office OneNote 2007. You can use this search engine to index a program’s content & to get instant results when you search in a specific program.’ In other words in lieu of waiting for the standard search device in Windows to grind away through your hard drive as it hunts through the files, this program already knows everything that is on your PC, so it can find it faster. Note, there is a name change with ths upgrade & the shorter title of ‘Windows Search’ will replace the elderly ‘Windows Desktop Search’.
