Windows Search 4.0 is available both as an update to Vista's built-in search engine and an updated version of the XP add-on that Microsoft has had available for some time, previously under the name Windows Desktop Search.

"Microsoft does not have any specific plans for releasing future updates to the search engine separately from Windows." the company said. "However, the company is always listening to customer feedback and will plan future releases with their feedback in mind."
