C|Net | at | by Mike
Microsoft revealed the progress it has made in building search technology on Thursday when it demonstrated a tool that can search both the Internet and a PC's hard drive.
MSN Chief Yusuf Mehdi showed a prototype of the search software, still under development, to an audience at its annual Microsoft Financial Analysts Meeting here. The technology is designed to quickly look through a hard drive, finding all the matches for a word from within documents, e-mails and even e-mail attachments. The version Mehdi presented also returned Web results on the right side of the page.
