You may have noticed that enabling people to find the right piece of information has become a bit of a religious event within Microsoft. Search tools to date include
However things have continued to improve with these engined and Office 2007.
For example, you can be inside Outlook, type a word in the search bar and within a fraction of a second have returned to you all the mails, calendar items or contacts that have that word in. You can even type something like "from:David received:last week" and get the mails from me that I sent last week. One nice featrue is that a nice yellow highlighter pen will show you where in the mail etc the magical words are, so finding them becomes easier.
Obviously the new search engine in Vista / WDS will find documents searching the content itself. I then saw this post, saying that the same process can be delivered from inside a document, so highlighting all the nice words you were looking for - makes it easier to find the right thing now!
