Posted by timothy on from the pretty-soon-it-will-be-a-trend dept.

Philipp Lenssen writes "Microsoft today released the MSN Toolbar Suite Beta. This brings true desktop search to Windows (for those who don't have Google Desktop Search or similar software running already) and also includes features like search term highlighting in web pages, auto-completing of forms, and a pop-up blocker."

    as an ammendum, it did indeed just finish indexing. I did a search for an sxw file I'd just saved with the name "nyc-story.sxw". I searched for just nyc, and then just for story. It found the document with neither instance (and the document is on my desktop).

    Hrm.

    I for one welcome the coming of our INSERT LAME SERIES OF ADJECTIVES overlords.

    No offense, sPaKr, but are you moderators smoking crack?! How many stinkin' times have you seen this "joke"? Its hardly original and ceased to be funny hundreds of iterations ago.

    Don't waste your time; he's an ignorant, whining moron who has never made a positive contribution to anyone or anything. His major accomplishment in life is to collect a band of equally ignorant followers which mods up his posts.

    Sad. Very sad.
