office 2007 and search

M

MicroFox

On XP Office2007 tells me to download desktop search so I can search...

I installed it but I hate that indexing program. Its stupid...

Is there a simple search function like in outlook express that I can use,
so I can uninstall this desktop search thing?

With the exception of using the normal 'Find' dialogs in the Office 2007 core apps to find text within documents, the Search
features of Office have been turned back over to the Windows folks, so your basic search capabilities without some desktop search
app would be those provided by your version of Windows.

Hi Microfox,

Ummm, not really. The File=>Search features written by the Office team are gone from Office 2007.

The MS Windows folks provided features for file searching or searching across files are what are available without installing the MS
or other Desktop search type of app.

"MicroFox" <-> wrote in message can you explain in more detail what you mean?
