Microsoft releases Vista search documentation
InternetNews | at | by Mike
Microsoft on Wednesday released documentation that details changes it has made to Windows Vista in the upcoming Service Pack 1 in order to accommodate third-party desktop search engines.
The Vista SP1 beta, which will bow in the next few weeks, contains the promised changes. But part of what is needed is documentation on how the changes actually work. The company posted three documents on its site to enable third parties to tie into Vista's desktop search capabilities.
Microsoft agreed to make changes to Vista SP1 in June after search giant Google complained to federal regulators that it was being frozen out of Vista's desktop search capabilities.
