Making Vista’s Search More Useful

26/02/2007

One of the Microsoft techs who works on the Windows Search systems has written a neat little app called Start++.

The app gives customisable aliases he calls “startlets” to the windows search dialog, so typing “w microsoft” will take you to the Wikipedia page for Microsoft, “g silly string” will fire up your default browser and perform a Google search for silly string.

Very neat stuff.

Update 02nd June 2007 - Link updated to reflect the new Start++ site.
