Stuff I've Seen - Home Page

Overview

SIS is a prototype tool that makes it easy for you to find information you've seen before, whether it came as email, attachments, files, web pages, appointments, tablet journal entries, etc. We do this by providing a single unified stored of different sources and providing an interface with quick sorting, filtering, previews and thumbnails.

Stuff I've Seen uses MS Search to create an index of all your important content. This index can be used to return search results very rapidly (typically less than 1 second).

By default, SIS indexes the following sources:

• Everything in your Outlook profile (e-mail messages, calendar entries, tasks, etc. in all your exchange folders and PSTs that are visible when you start Outlook)
• All files in your "My Documents" folder
• All web pages in your Internet cache

SIS's big sister has finally shipped! Windows Desktop Search is now available on the web for free download. See how cool searching your desktop can be!

Stuff I've Seen is developed by the Adaptive Systems and Interaction Team at Microsoft Research.
