An alternative search engine

I just discovered Ms. Dewey; a search engine written in Flash (with loads of attitude). Well worth looking at when you have some spare time (and the results appear to be coming from live.com)

Windows Desktop Search and the indexing of files .

I was chatting to a person the other day and they wanted to know how Windows Desktop Search (WDS) indexes different file types.

Specifically I was asked if WDS handled this in a different way to popular search applications like Beagle. Fortunately the answer is simple. WDS uses plug-ins called IFilters to support file types. For example in order for WDS to be able to “understand” an Adobe Acrobat file you would need to have the Acrobat IFilter installed on your machine (installed by default when you install the Adobe Acrobat reader).

For more information on how to write an IFilter there is some great information available at http://addins.msn.com/devguide.aspx#AddingaNewFileType as well as a very comprehensive article located at http://channel9.msdn.com/wiki/default.aspx/Channel9.DesktopSearchIFilters.

Forcing an alias resolution in Outlook.

Have you ever entered a person’s alias and had the “Check Names” dialogue displayed by the AutoComplete feature? This is something that I have experienced from time to time when sending mail to my colleges. Now don’t get me wrong AutoComplete is an awesome feature when you want to search for a person’s details, but sometimes I just want to force the use of that alias outright. I also want to do this without having to disable AutoComplete.

Well here is a tip to work around this. When you enter the person’s alias precede it with the equals (=) operator. To illustrate this if you where to implicitly force the use of my alias then you would enter it as “=bengay”.

AutoDate is awesome!

I recently discovered the AutoDate feature in Microsoft Outlook. AutoDate allows you to type an English representation of a date (or defined holiday) that Outlook will then convert, to the appropriate date value. To illustrate this typing in the word “Christmas” would be recognized by Outlook and converted to the date value of December the 25th.

My search efforts on finding more information on this feature have unfortunately been less than successful. The most useful link that I found applied to Outlook 2002 (although it works on Outlook 2007) and mentions that the AutoDate feature works for the following:

  • Dates that have been spelled out
    E.g. Second of January
  • Date periods
    E.g. Tomorrow, Next Week, Week and a half, next month, next year
  • Times that been spelled out.
    E.g. eight AM
  • Descriptions of times and dates
    E.g. Midnight, Midday, noon
  •  Names of Holidays that fall on the same date each year
    E.g. Christmas

Let the marketing begin...

The Windows Vista marketing has begun, and it is good! Demetri Martin "hosts" the site Clearification.com which is about Vista. I  don’t want to go into a lot of detail talking about the specifics of the site as I want you to be able to get an unbiased look at it. Needless to say I think it is brilliant! Let me know what you think of it.
