I installed the MSN Desktop Search Beta a couple of days ago, this integrates an outlook search tool (https://www.lookoutsoft.com) with a desktop search tool – the integration with outlook is very similar to the LookOut product, the desktop search technology is pretty cool, the application indexes content on your desktop as a background task, and adds an optional toolbar to your application tray (see below).
