Search My Computer - The Former DMiller - 8th May 2006

The Vista thread gave me a cool idea. Although we aren't really want for topics during E3 I didn't want to forget this. The way it works is you give me a word or phrase to search for on my computer and I'll show you the results. The search uses metadata so music lyrics, pictures, videos, and interesting things may come up. I'll use "lazy" as an example:

Not really the topic but the thought of what might be on Lazy's computer both intrigues and disturbs me...

Wow, how do you find anything when you seem to get every single file on your computer that way? Admittedly, metadata searching is the future of searching, but wow there's absolutely no way I could weed through all of that. I'm still a classic file name searcher...

Okay, find this.

It's a lot easier to find things than a normal file name search. Priority is put on the actual file name so those results show up first, and it uses past search results to guess what you are looking for. Anyway, Fantastapottomas returned no results. :)

Anyway, the search for girls:
