Is desktop search over? 20 years late!

People are really crowing about Vista's new "instant serach" and how wonderful it is and better than the old Windows XP Search functionality. Yeah I can't disagree, but it's amazing how it's 20 years on before that glaring-glaring- glaring hole in Windows was fixed. (And sure, Mac OS X has had Spotlight for a while now, but I am not in love with it. I have only a decent amount of disk space and a fast processor and a lot of memory, and I can't say it's fast. In fact when I want to search for an email I always go into my browser and use Google Mail's search feature…Anyway… Check out this post from Geeking with Greg:

"In his remarkably detailed review of Windows Vista, Paul Thurrott wrote:

One of the most impressive features in Windows Vista … is instant search.

Anyone who's struggled with the lousy search functionality in Windows XP or previous Windows versions will be happy to hear that the Vista version is fantastic, delivering near-instantaneous search results while providing the types of advanced features that power users will simply drool over."
