Microsoft said that this release followed an earlier preview that was downloaded some 300,000 times and has resulted in a lot of feedback, and as a result, a number of quality improvements.
One improved area is the system's ability to search across machines. Windows Search 4's remote discovery service will now let users run data queries between Vista and XP machines, for example.
For now Windows Search 4 is available to download from the Microsoft web site, however, in the future it will be included in the Windows Update service as an option, the firm said.
