Microsoft enters desktop search fray
InternetNews | at | by Mike
Microsoft officials announced the release of its own desktop search application Monday, hoping to make up Google ground established two months ago. Desktop search joins the recently released beta version of MSN's Web search functionality and is wrapped in the Redmond, Wash., company's beta version of the MSN Toolbar Suite. The beta program is currently available only in English and in the United States. It also includes a pop-up blocker for users with Internet Explorer 5.5 and above, and a password-protected auto form-filler function.
