New version of Windows Desktop Search!
"Tonight we've officially launched the Enterprise editions of Windows Desktop Search and the MSN Search Toolbar. Unlike the current consumer release, there are 2 seperate installs (one for WDS, one for MSN Toolbar). ..."
Windows Desktop Search – enabled for the enterprise
Very cool. I recently moved to a new notebook with a fresh XP install and I really need a HD indexer...
But I don't want an "uber, do everything under the sun version and here's a cool new toolbar too!" version. Just one where I can drive what folders are indexed and doesn't hijack my browser or add another toolbar. Also I don't want or need Outlook indexing/integration. Lookout works great for me and I have no reason to replace it. I just want something to make searching for stuff on my HD easier....
This new Enterprise WDS just might fit the bill for me.
I really dig how they've separated the Search/Index engine from the toolbar. Also I like how this version also replaces the XP "Search Companion". I'm used to right-click Search on a folder, so the new WDS let's me continue to work as I have before while taking advantage of the new service.
Anyway, it's installed, indexing and I'm downloading more IFilters (ZIP, CHM, etc). We'll see how it goes.
