Windows Desktop Search is similar to search feature in Windows Vista. If you are not ready to upgrade to Vista but want the search functionality, the Windows Desktop Search is for you. As this is tightly integrated with the OS, it might work better for some.
Windows Search is able to search for e-mail too. For list of supported files
