Instantly find documents, e-mail, attachments, and more

In todays information-intensive workplace, finding just the right file when you need it can be challenging. Windows Search provides an easy and comprehensive solution for finding and organizing the content you care about, whether its on your PC, in an e-mail message or attachment, on a remote file share, or on the Web. Key benefits of Windows Search include:

• User Experience that Helps You Stay Productive: Windows Search has a familiar user interface for instantly finding files and e-mail messages located on your PC and connected resources-plus one-click access to move, delete, copy, burn, attach, or drag and drop files where you need them.
• Enterprise Ready: Windows Search is easy to deploy and manage, with enterprise-class security that prevents unauthorized access to sensitive information. Robust Group Policy support gives IT professionals control over every aspect of search functionality-from the types of files to the locations that get indexed.
• Rich and Flexible Development Platform: Windows Search is easily extensible for third-party developers and IT professionals to build upon, offering comprehensive APIs for developers to display user search query results in custom applications and tools using the .NET Framework or a Common Object Model (COM) interface.
