    windows search 4.0

    Hello, running windows 7 enterprise 32 bit with outlook 2010.

    Within outlook there is an option to "upgrade" your search which sends you to a windows search 4.0 page for vista sp1.

    I cant seem to find one for windows 7 , am I going mad? :P

    Hey Cider, my old machine is running Windows 7 enterprise 32 bit with office 2010 (inc Outlook 2010)

    Isn't the Windows Search 4.0 by default on 7 :S "or for some weird reason yours isn't? p.s. provide with more information or anything else I do help just ask I see Microcrap have bugs already in 2010. I am kind of lazy just leave it to autmatically update.

    Oh sometimes I love the Search but it's annoying at hell, when complains about non-index locations. Just find my files god dam you!!!

    office 2010 is still beta yes?

    prob wait till it comes out of beta and there should be a win7 search.

    Also did any1 else spot that the default "Avator" icon for contacts has a similar silouhette as bill gates mug shot from when he was arrested in the 70's? those ms boys are up to no good again.

    HYBRID did you mean beta or beta (better) because I don't know I must have been using 2010 for 6 months. I don't use beta's ain't allowed because I am on corporate network.

    Unless Cider is your version beta or RTM?

    I'm running win 7 64-bit professional and can use windows desktop search for email when I press the Windows Key and F or From search box in explorer. You can limit the search scope to email by entering kind:email. I'm still running Office 2007 which is limited to outlook search. I use the call to windows desktop search often to find mails since I find outlook search to be very poor. I wish it was integrated better.

    Cheers,
