You Can Speed Up Your Search
Function in Windows XP.
One of the new features of Windows Vista is the ability to
have instant search. Well you may or may not know, but with a
add-on from Microsoft, you can get this functionality in Windows
XP. The add-on is
Windows
Desktop Search.
Here is a
quote about Windows Desktop Search
that explains how it works (this was taken from
Microsoft’s Windows Desktop download page
)
… Windows Desktop Search, you can search
for e-mail, documents and other files located on your computer. No
information about the files on your computer will be sent to
Microsoft as part of this process. Instead, Windows Desktop Search
will index the content of your computer and store the index file on
your computer. You can customize Windows Desktop Search to index
only specified folders on your computer. Windows Desktop search will
not store copies of e-mail or documents after they are deleted.
