Microsoft opens desktop search
C|Net | at | by Mike
Microsoft has published application programming interfaces (APIs) that allow programmers to display the results of a desktop search in their choice of programs. The APIs, which were released earlier this week, are still in beta testing.
Microsoft's MSN division released Windows Desktop Search in May, a few months after Google launched its own, called Google Desktop. Windows Desktop Search already has a few features for customizing searches, such as the ability to speed up search results by creating indexes.
