I saw an update for widows desktop search 3.01 KB917013 on my XP's. So I

installed on my first computer, seemed to look ok. So I installed it on my

second XP computer (I got 4 Windows 1 apple). I let them do their searches

and indexes and hours later I did a search (when the indexing was complete).

I then noticed that I would get different results from the two. **** Note, I

crashed one of them last week, so that every single piece of data is exactly

the same in both computers. Expecialy pictures and music. **** I get 16,000+

on one computer and 40,000+ on the other. I put in .doc and got 128 from one

computer and 1415 (correct) from the other. I would double check using serach

companion, but somthing is not right with WDS 3.01. KB917013.

 

I removed them from the two computers and used the HIDE the update so I

would not update it again.

 

**** When I checked my other computers the next day the KB917013 was not on

any machines - And even went back to the first two I the hidden updates from

the two I had installed and removed, and it was gone from them too ***

I would advice you not to bother with Windows Desktop Search for a while.

It has several issues that I know of and the concensus seems to be leaning

*away* from it. ("Concensus" from Google searches/newsgroups...)

Why doesn't microsoft notify us on the update page when they make an error. I

didn't have the automatic problem like the networked people. It showed up as

an optional update. I figured optional - means that the indexing system would

work more like the better VISTA. Boy was I wrong. What do I know I am just a

computer teacher, and like the most current features on my computers. From

now on I wait a week for feedback before installing optional features.

 

MICROSOFT - I've been married three times, but you guys have more of my

money that all three of them combined! I like to get kissed before getting ...
