Ask Jeeves has released new upgrades to its Desktop Search that make it faster to search files on a computer, in emails and on the Internet.

Desktop search presents an interesting challenge, significantly different from Web search.

In crawling files and emails, we don't have the benefit of leveraging the social network of the Web to determine relevance (at least not yet).

Instead, most of the content you are searching for has a personal relevance factor and usually has a time component. You're either looking for something over and over again or you need to find something from a long time ago.

Here are some of the new features for AJDS:

-- Folder Indexing Preferences
-- Improved PDF indexing
-- Email attachment name indexing
-- Improved Zip file indexing
-- Enhanced previews for Office files
-- Indexing of iTunes metadata
-- Search term highlighting
-- Full Outlook Express support
-- Pause indexing
-- Improved stability overall
-- New homepage with most recently viewed files
-- Improved status callouts
-- Writely document search

For those who have been asking about API and Extension support, rest assured they are on the roadmap.
