I have moved most of my documents to Windows Home Server. I really don't want to lose the only big improvement in Vista, direct search from start menu, just because I bought an expensive home server. Please, Brandon, could you respond and tell us how to do it. I would also like to know how to get the network share search results in the start menu.

Why not release it via windows update? Are there many more such useful updates that not released via windows update? How do I find them? I want to have my system running at its best. Thank you.

Good luck.

I've installed it on all 10 of the Vista machines in my small business and users are extremely pleased with the performance increase. The ability to search the index of a network share is greatly welcome and works extremely well. Congrats. One question. Is there any way to get network share results to show up in the Instant Search results of the start menu? Thanks, Jeremy Hi Brandon,

It's just Vista's search/index/whatever people want to call it. Maybe if you guys renamed the update to something like a "Performance and Reliability Update for Windows Search" this confusion wouldn't occur.
