More search triumphs

This is not really related to the 2007 release. In fact, it's more of a nod to my Vista team mates.

I'm sitting in a training course, trying to plan out my answer to an assignment that I have to complete. The assignment is related to my work and I know that I wrote a draft plan, back in April, that contains a huge chunk of relevant information. The only problem - that was over six months ago and I haven't a clue what the document was called or where to find it.

So I start hunting around my document folders and I can't see any sign of it in any of the "likely" places I would have filed it. But the more I think about it, the more I think the document probably had "O2007" in the title.

Cue the Vista search engine. In a few seconds I've got all the results I could want - including at least two instances of the document I'm looking for. Not only has Vista search found a version of the document in an email that I sent to a colleague, it's also found the document on my "My Site" (a SharePoint repository where I don't even remember storing it).

Smiles all round.
