Anybody familiar with Windows Search 4.0?

edited January 2009 in Science & Tech
I thought I'd give it a try, I don't do many of these "desktop"
searches, but the info said it was unobtrusive, so I installed it
(in XP sp3) .

It is supposed to search and index email (I'm using Outlook Express)
but I can't get it to work. Indexing is complete, and the main email
identity is selected in indexed locations.

When I search on words in email subject line or email body, it doesn't
find either. Anybody tried this?
TIA for any info.

    Apparently OE has to be open for it's files to be indexed.
    Don't understand that, but after it had been open for a while,
    I could see that the indexing task was active again.
    Sure enough, after 30 minutes or so, the emails were indexed.
