   Hi Tahir - This beta version is English only. I believe it should support US and British systems.

   Hi Brandon,

   Can this new desktop search (or any version) be used in a Terminal Server environment? If so are there any recommendations for doing so. Also, will there be a Vista version eventually of desktop search?

   Cheers

   Hi

   I have an ASP.net web page I expose mail PST’s via WDS. However, I can show the results of the search ( titles etc.. via the retrun of executeQuery ) but I can figure out how to expose the body of the emails from the URL returned?

   Can you assist?

   thanks!

   Janson -

   Yes it can. However, if the *same* user logs in twice to the same machine, the second user session
   will fail to start WDS, and they won’t be able to search in that session. This generally only affects
   administrators that connect both remotely and locally and don’t log-off but simply “disconnect.”
   This is planned to be fixed in a future version of WDS.

   As for Vista - Windows vista includes a future version of WDS built-in.

   Anon -

   Unfortunately, getting the EntryID of the message (which is what you’ll need to get the Outlook Object Model
   to access the message) can be tricky, especially with WDS 2.6+ because we encode the item URLs for efficiency.
   I’m not completely sure if there’s another solution - you might try posting it at our MSDN Developer Forum.

   Oh, also you can expose part of the body by querying for the Characterization column.

   I do know that this are is something we’re planning to improve relatively soon.

   I had Windows Live 3 Beta and got rid of it. A little yellow shield keeps telling me that it wants to download and install an update for WL3Beta and it will not go away. I do not have WL3Beta. How can I get rid of the yellow shield? Best Wishes.
