The notebook indexer should work fine with the version of Windows Search which came with Windows (both XP and Vista). However, the upgraded version of Windows Desktop Search 3.0 for Windows XP doesn't work with the indexer due to a minor, but relevant incompatibility in the interfaces. We're looking into implementing this for a future release of Mathematica. Sincerely, John Fultz jfultz at wolfram.com User Interface Group Wolfram Research, Inc.
