Federated Search in Windows

The same connectors can be used for federated search in Windows (Windows 7 and Windows 2008 R2) too. Federated Search in Windows article describes Windows 7 support for search federation to remote data stores using OpenSearch technologies that enable users to access and interact with their remote data from within Microsoft Windows Explorer.

To try out a connector, just download its .osdx file and click on it. You should get a prompt like this:

Click on “Add” and you are ready to start searching.

Users can also perform enterprise searches from a Windows 7 client by using federation. When a user types a search query in the search box in Windows Explorer, the Windows 7 client can retrieve search results from Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010 and display the results in the Windows Explorer window where the user typed the query. Search the enterprise from Windows 7 (SharePoint Server 2010) article describes different ways that administrators and users can enable this search capability by installing one or more federated search connectors from SharePoint Server 2010 to the Windows 7 client.
