Windows Desktop Search released

Microsoft released the full version (non-beta) of Desktop Search

MSN Search Toolbar, now with Windows Desktop Search

It uses a plugin architecture like Google's, it allows you to add Extension for inclusion in the indexing process. Microsoft are so keen to spread its use you can even change the search engine that you want it to use when searching the internet (a very surprising move from Microsoft), to google or anyone else by specifiying a Search URL. All good stuff.

Once someone writes a plugin for the Firefox browser history its a go-er.
