Microsoft offers business-class desktop search
eWeek | at | by Mike
Microsoft is set to announce a new version of its desktop search feature meant for use in corporate computer networks, as it tries to keep pace with rivals such as Google.
The Redmond, Wash.-based software giant says the new facet searches for information stored on individual PCs, or among clusters of computers typically found in offices. File sharing and a single starting point for any search are two features of note, according to Microsoft.
Additional details are to be released on Tuesday at the IT Forum, a Microsoft-hosted event in Barcelona, Spain. A spokeswoman for Microsoft didn't respond to an e-mail seeking additional details.
