Windows Live Mail Desktop and Windows Desktop Search

What's the story with Windows Live Mail Desktop and Windows Desktop Search,
the
latter does not seem to indexing the former.

I've included all of c:\documents and settings\<acctname>\Local Settings\...
as places which WDS should index. I can see all the .eml files why can't
WDS.

Do I need a special filter, if so, from where do I get it

Re: Windows Live Mail Desktop and Windows Desktop Search

This is a repeat of what you posted at
news:leSdnYtzgM591JDVnZ2dnUVZ_oWdnZ2d@xxxxxx There was a
comprehensive answer to that posting that you seem to have
overlooked. What happens if you click
news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsof...e.mail.desktop ?
There's no need to use a third-party news server to access ms
newsgroups, and doing so might provide a less satisfactory service,
as you seem to have shown.

Re: Windows Live Mail Desktop and Windows Desktop Search

So what is the answer? Per Microsoft, I switched to Windows Live Mail from
Outlook Express since Express will not support hotmail after June. I use the
find feature of Express daily to find email messages that contain certain
text. I have XP and the find of Windows Live does not support searching text
in XP. It was my understanding that Desktop Search needed to be loaded and
could be used to do this. I have been unsuccessful in getting it to work and
cannot find any instructions on what to do to get it to work. Any help would
be much appreciated. prf

Search does work sometimes in the web forum, too!
