Win7之家www.win7china.com):Windows 7中的联合搜索功能

 在Vista中,微软引进了增强型桌面搜索功能以帮助用户迅速找到文件,电子邮件已经计算机中的其他东西。随着Windows Search 4.0的发布,通过新增一系列针对IT业者的必要特性,新的搜索性能更为出色。

Windows 7的桌面搜索则整合了联合搜索的功能以搜索本地计算机之外的东西。现在你可以通过本地计算机搜索网络上的东西。该技术基于OpenSearch和RSS格式。由于其基于的标准是开放性的,用户可以轻松打造自己的个性搜索工具。比如,你可以通过自己电脑中的资源管理器搜索Flickr上的内容。

而目前,已经有不少个性搜索工具可以下载了:

  • Flickr Search Connector
  • YouTube Search Connector
  • Google News Search Connector
  • Google Blogs Search Connector
  • Twitter Search Connector
  • MSN Search
  • Deviant Art Search
