MSN joins desktop search fray
Microsoft's MSN has unveiled desktop-search technology, entering a hotly contested race to dominate information access on the PC.
The Web portal introduced its MSN Toolbar Suite in a beta, or test version, on Monday. The software lets people search the contents of their hard drive, including Microsoft Outlook e-mail, calendar items, contacts and Office documents. It also lets them navigate the Web with MSN's proprietary search technology, released last month, from points within e-mail and within Windows.
