I have three computers (i7 920 with Vista, Lenovo S10 netbook with XP Home and IBM Laptop R40 with XP Pro) and I've noticed a difference between how the two versions of Windows Search works. I've installed the corresponding versions on my desktop (i7, Vista) and my laptops.
I've installed 5 years worth of e-mails on all systems (don't ask...) as imported storage folders and the Vista version searches all e-mail folders, past and present, just what I wanted (text and subject lines).
The XP version also does a complete search but displays the file name instead of the subject line of the e-mail.
Question: since the Vista version figured out how to display the subject line using the same source files, is there a way to get the XP version to also display the subject line of an e-mail instead of the file name? It currently displays something like 0A4D3E15-00000465.eml instead of the subject line of the e-mail.
Vista Windows Search Version 4.0 32 bit: 2008 (build 12.0.1606)
XP Windows Search Version 4.0 for 32 bit, downloaded today off Microsoft's website
