Did you get Windows Search 4.0?

[jjrambo]

in Windows Update. I noticed it today, around 11mb download. Everything went fine...what's new with Windows Search 4?

It's been out for a while, just now rolling out on Windows Update.

Mainly it is just much faster and more resilient.

I have to agree with you brandon, Outlook 2007 seems to start a lot faster with it installed

I installed it and after my reboot check disk ran and started replacing all my SIDS with "the default security ID". Which basically took away all my rights as any user. So my services wouldnt start that I needed to start. It completely screwed my system.

Luckily I had a base backup without the theme and all I did.

It is extremely unlikely that had anything at all to do with WS4. Most likely you would have encountered the same thing on next reboot regardless, and it sounds like you may have a problem with your disk. Either that or you've used some program to alter your user account or file ACLs in an unsupported fashion.

If you can consistently reproduce this after installing WS4 (but not in other cases) then please let me know. However, I really doubt that's the case.

Also I assume by "replacing all my SIDs" you mean replacing ACLs on files.

can't say i noticed much of a speed improvement but probably based on my hardware but has calmed when searching and it making the hard drive thrashing it seems in vista

Vista did that once to my Server 2003 partition after an improper shutdown... it *really* made my day. It has nothing to do with Windows Search though - you've just had an unfortunate coincidence. :(

Haven't noticed anything yet.

I got it last night after a reinstall of Vista. No problems to report.

[CrashG]

Got it the other day when it showed up on WU. Also no problems to report.

[bjoswald]

No problems here, either. In fact, my searches seem faster.

i installed it shortly after it was released and it has made an improvement in searching n such like it said.

was just about to post and ask this about to install it on my wifes notebook
