Thanks I’ve installed Search 4 in Windows XP SP3, but it looks cr*p in Classic mode. Almost all our computers at work run XP in classic mode (I use High Color Plum), and Search 4 doesn’t visually integrate well. e.g. Set XP to Classic style, Plum color scheme. Right click the search icon in the task bar, choose Windows Search Options and have a look at the cr*ppy drive icon with a halo effect round it (and it’s not even the proper XP drive icon). Seeing as 3/4 of all Windows machines are still running XP the Search/XP combo will be around for a long time. It would be great if you guys can properly integrate Search 4 in XP. (BTW - have a look at Firefox 3m which does a fantastic job of visual integration depending on the platform on which it runs - XP/Vista/OS X/ Linux). Hey Brandon, could you pass this on? Thanks

What would make you think it doesn't? The XP version has always had some support for saved searches, by creating a shortcut / favorite.

It keeps saying "This update does not apply to your system". Ensured the KB update is not there already, still the same error. I downloaded and tried installing it in my Vista 32 Ultimate.
