Instantly search your computer. This is Microsoft's promise with the release of Windows Desktop Search 3.0. The Redmond Company is delivering support for Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2003 x64 Edition, Windows XP x64 Edition and the ubiquitous Windows XP. But, as far as Windows Desktop Search 3.0 RTW for Windows XP is concerned, there is a catch. Windows XP copies have to be validated prior to downloading Desktop Search 3.0.

"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," reads Microsoft's description of the product.

Windows Desktop Search 3.0 has been tested by Softpedia as being 100% Free and is available for download here.
