Windows Search 4.0 Preview
Posted in Windows by Administrator on March 28th, 2008 With Windows Vista Service Pack 1 available to the general public as of March 18, 2008, and with Windows XP SP3 having hit RC2 Refresh stage, Microsoft made available Windows Search 4.0 Preview, designed to take the search capabilities of the two platforms to the next level. The Preview build of Windows Search 4.0 is designed to integrate seamlessly with both the 32-bit and 64-bit editions of Vista RTM and SP1, XP SP2 and SP3 and Windows Server 2003 and even
Windows Home Server. Despite the fact that in terms of search capabilities Vista brings a consistent evolution to the table compared to XP, the Windows Search 4.0 Preview will enhance the default functionality of even Vista SP1.
On March 27, 2008, Microsoft delivered a “little ‘preview’ of the next step for Windows Search. The Windows Search Team is making available Windows Search 4.0 Preview – a preview of the next version of desktop search for Windows,” said Nick White, Windows Vista Program Manager. According to White, the Redmond company has focused its efforts on dealing with the bugs that were reported via end user feedback. Microsoft approximated that the majority of the issues associated with Vista RTM have been fixed.
