Does "minimal UI changes" involve fixing the search button on the bar in the taskbar when Windows classic is the visual style?

If so, that'll make it pretty sweet!

Really not sure. I actually wasn't really involved in this release, so I'm not up on all the details. The main changes I'm familiar with are some of the query performance increases and some cool new SQL stuff for developers.

Fair enough, what's the recommended way that I can contact them to report this bug?

Outlook removed message removal from index better be working this time. What's the point of a damn search engine if it finds stuff long deleted ago (deleted as in gone forever, not moved to trash).

That's never been a known issue with Windows Search / WDS. It's been a problem with some competitors, mainly Google who said "it's not a bug, it's a feature!"

Unless a whole bunch of stuff changes at once, the indexer is always kept up-to-date, and deletes should always be processed pretty much instantly. The only exception might be on battery power, depending on your power profile.

Ooh, I'll have to try this at work tomorrow. My Vista/Outlook 2007 machine has multiple Outlook profiles (for multiple Exchange accounts over disparate domains with RPC/HTTPS), and the Indexer v3 seems to be very choosy as to which profile it indexes. I'd thought it was the first, alphabetically, but I'm not so sure any more after it switched one day and I couldn't figure out why. Hopefully that's fixed, but even if not (and I'll admit my configuration is a fringe case), performance improvements are always welcome! :)

Is this the ill fated "Casino" or "One View"? Or is that project dead as a dodo?

"Casino" was mainly a research / prototype project. This release contains mainly improvements to the desktop indexer, and the other features/fixes described above.

    • Bose QuietComfort Ultra Gen 2 headphones are down to lowest price in over a month by Taras Buria Bose's second-gen QuietComfort Ultra headphones are premium over-ear headphones with noise cancellation, but right now, you can save 16%, thanks to a discount that brought the headphones to a new lowest price in over a month. While the general look and aesthetics remain unchanged compared to the previous gen, the Gen 2 features redesigned wear-detection sensors, which accurately pause your music the moment you take them off. Additionally, the headphones now support lossless audio via a direct USB-C wired connection, letting you enjoy uncompressed sound when plugged into your laptop or phone. There is also spatial audio support (works wirelessly) for a more immersive audio experience and improved noise cancellation, which makes the QuietComfort Ultra go-to headphones for many users on long flights or other scenarios when they need to isolate themselves from the surrounding noise. The QuietComfort Ultra (Gen 2) also features Bluetooth Multipoint for seamless switching between two devices at once. As for battery life, you get up to 30 hours on a single charge (up to 23 hours when using spatial audio). Besides good audio quality and noise cancellation, the headphones should be comfortable to wear, thanks to the lightweight 250-gram design and soft protein-leather ear pads.

    • Started implementing weapons! Here's a little sneak peek! 👀 Animation was done inside of Unreal Engine using Control Rig! Really useful tool, I don't have to go back and forth between Blender and UE, you can basically make tweaks while the game is running.
    • Keep in mind Intuit has lobbied like crazy to keep taxes complicated so they can continue to sell tax software. They also got caught hiding their legally mandated free version so they could release a second one that pushed countless people into charges they didn't need to pay to file. Intuit leads the charge on inventing problems so they can sell you the solution and disrespecting you in the process.
