Search should be fast
Via The Macalope, Microsoft's leaked reaction to Mac OS X's new search capabilities:
Lenn Pryor:
You will have to take Vic's disk...I am not giving mine up.
Tonight I got on corpnet, hooked up Mail.app to my Exchange server and then downloaded all of my mail into the local file store. I did system wide queries against docs, contacts, apps, photos, music, and my Microsoft email on a Mac. It was f*cking amazing. It is like I just got a free pass to Longhorn land today.
Jim Allchin:
Yes. I know. It is hard to take. I don't believe we will have search this fast.
The funny part for me as I read this is that they're talking about Mac OS X 10.4 search. Mac OS X 10.4's search worked, but it was very slow. Yet apparently, even that blew away what they had.
Still, it isn't all bad for Microsoft: It looks like they at least realized the speed of search was important.
