Windows Search creates a locally managed Index of files - documents, emails, folders, programs, photos, tracks, and videos - and file contents, as well as of non-file items including those of Microsoft Outlook for which users can perform incremental searches based on details such as authors, contents, dates, file names, file types, people, and sizes the Index stores actual prose from inside documents and metadata properties from other content. It was developed after the postponement of WinFS and introduced to Windows constituents originally touted as benefits of that platform.
Windows Search (also known as Instant Search) is a content index desktop search platform by Microsoft introduced in Windows Vista as a replacement for both the previous Indexing Service of Windows 2000 and the optional MSN Desktop Search for Windows XP and Windows Server 2003, designed to facilitate local and remote queries for files and non-file items in compatible applications including Windows Explorer.
