scumdogmillionaire Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 Windows Desktop Search 3.0 is the technology which enables instant search on your computer. It helps you to find, preview, and use your documents, e-mail, music, photos, and other items. The search engine in Windows Desktop Search 3.0 is a Windows service that is also used by applications such as Microsoft Office Outlook 2007 and OneNote 2007 to index application content and deliver instant results when searching within that application. Windows Desktop Search 3.0 provides fast indexing, improved performance, and improved file type support. If you choose to install and use 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. After you install this item, you may have to restart your computer. Download edit: how did i beat Brandon? :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrBear5587 Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 Bah, Why didn?t my machine complete validation? Your validation may not have succeeded due to the following Internet connection issue. The Windows Genuine Advantage Tool requires Internet access and is unable to communicate with the Microsoft validation servers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightmarE D Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 Bah, Why didn?t my machine complete validation? Your validation may not have succeeded due to the following Internet connection issue. The Windows Genuine Advantage Tool requires Internet access and is unable to communicate with the Microsoft validation servers. Just keep trying it. It would do that to me all the time and still does it every once in a while. I'm glad it doesn't do it as much as it used to. I pretty much couldn't use anything related to WGA and I'm genuine. It got more than annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon Veteran Posted October 24, 2006 Veteran Share Posted October 24, 2006 WDS used to replace search ui in explorer . missing now? and is there a way to vertically center desk bar like the address bar on the left That's always annoyed me in the earlier versions, I haven't found a fix.

Brandon Live Veteran Posted October 24, 2006 Veteran Share Posted October 24, 2006 WDS used to replace search ui in explorer . missing now? Should still be there... When you go to Start -> Search does the WDS search pane not show up? And yeah the deskbar centering thing has always really annoyed me... unfortunately it was too far down the list of priorities. We do want to fix it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
