    Hello All Live Meshers,

    When one logges into the Live Mesh Desktop there is a search box with a green "Web" button.  Ok, this searches the internet via MS Live Search.  I understand that.  There is also a grayed-out "Folders" button just before the "Web" button.  What does this button do?  What color should it be when it is usable?  Has anyone every been able to search for an item(s) located within one of the desktop folders?  I am assuming that is what the button is designed to  do; however, it does not seem to function.

    My assumption has always been that the folders button will search your meshed files (as you say), but that it simply hasn't been implemented yet. I have never seen it in a clickable state either. :)

    I would assume the same thing. Why I'd want to search the web from Live Desktop is not clear to me, but that's how it goes.

    What if you could search the web AND your Live Desktop at the same time? ;)  That's where this is going I'm sure.

    I suppose some might find that useful, but if I'm looking for something that I have, I already have a faint idea that I have it and will search my files - be that the Live Desktop or my local PC. If I'm looking for information or something I don't have or think I don't have<g>), I'm going to search the web.
