vista search technical documentation - where can I find it?

Perhaps it is my search and research that is lacking, but I am finding it very difficult to get any technical / development info on the new search and how it can be used.

I did see the chananel 9 movie, which told me about OLE DB provider and thumbnails.

I have also gone through WinFX documentation in SDK.

I have interoperability requirements that I want to examine urgently.

I am sure it's out there amoung the tons of stuff. But I can't find it. I have tried for hours.

Please help

    Hi there.  The bad news is that some of this documentation has taken longer to publish than I had hoped.  The good news is that our revised eta for some materials on the "Search and Organize" bucket of features in Vista is two weeks from today.  I post back here when we publish.

    Thanks

    Hi there.

    It is still pretty early in the documentation process, and a lot of our writers are playing "catch-up" with our developers.  But we should be releasing some detailed information in a couple weeks.  Is there someting specific I can help you address in the requirements that you refer to

    Thanks

    Thank you Steve. I am repeating my post from the Vista Storage, Search forum. Will be grateful for your help.
    ---------------------------------------------------

    It appears that Vista supports distributed search.

    Is the distributed search limited to Vista - Vista / Vista - Longhorn only (as suggested in some web pages)

    Or does / will Vista support (a) Vista - Win 2000/2003; & (b) Vista -SMB/CIFS

    Assuming that indices are maintained in separate servers, is interoperability achieved via Indigo or some other means Where can I find the information

    Regarding security - how does the Vista search only return documents accessible to a user in the single-server and multi-server (distributed) cases Is AD or an identity management scheme (InfoCards) mandatory (on all servers)

    Answers to these questions will help my colleagues and me plan the introduction of Vista in a number of legacy infrastructure environments.

    Thank you.
