This is a pretty neat feature in Vista. Tired of searching for email in the syntax it requires? Do you just want to get the information you require and start working with it?
Have no fear, Vista is here!
One of the great new features in Windows Vista is natural language search. It allows me to simply type what I want in the search bar and get the results. For example, if I want the email I received yesterday from my friend Ravi, I can simply type: email yesterday from Ravi. Done! Nothing could be simpler.
The power behind this simple feature means less time working on finding data and more time working with it. I've put some links below with some more details and how to activate the natural language search on your machine.
