Search - Desktop

One of the new and powerful features in Windows Vista is Desktop Search. I fully like Microsoft's version as opposed to Google's. Vista's search feature does not require an internet connect, which makes me feel better when it comes to the privacy issue.

You get to the search feature in Vista by left clicking on the Start Orb. The search box is right above the Start Orb. All you have to do is start typing in the search box and Vista will start pulling up results to match what you have typed.

The search results from above the Start Orb will sort by category such as History, Files and Communication. This search can even be directed to the internet or your computer and the internet.

You can do this in any window you may have open in Vista. Windows explorer has a search box in the top right if it's window. This search will only be in the specific are searching from i.e. Outlook, Document, etc.
