I just found this list of new add-ins for Windows Desktop Search.  I like the add-ins, because they give me a finer degree of search filtering and capability within my Desktop Search.  The Outlook “Saved Mail” (#3 on the list) is of most importance for me, but I figured I would list all 3, since some of you might have a different set of needs than I do.

1. Add-in files for Microsoft Networks:

Overview
