  1. UI Bug The "Index now" will be disabled

    2. The "Index now" button is a toggle. When you click it, it depresses, and when you click it again, it pops up. But, the standard button for that isnt obvious.
    Button that unavailable will be disabled.

    Windows Indexing Status
    Figures: MSN Desktop Search - The "Index now" button will be disabled.

  2. Search Expression

    3. MSN Desktop search results.
    Figures: MSN Desktop Search couldn't find the email with specified date string.

    To search by date, you need something like this "date:05/07/2005". But the problem is this isn't obvious to most people.
    It will also have a "..." button that opens up a search expression builder for users easily to build search expression with keyword like "date:".
