Mac OS X Spotlight Search vs Windows Vista Search

After reading this page at ARSTechnica on the technical underpinnings of the Spotlight Search facility and FSEvents on Mac OXS X, I get an email notification on a post written by Amit on a fix for Windows Vista Search Indexer.

Coincidence?

It’s just too bad I don’t have a working copy of Windows Vista installed on my home PC computers (they’re still running on Windows XP Professional) as I would love doing a proper comparison of both search technologies.

All I can say for sure now is that Spotlight Search far outstrips the Search tool on Windows XP in terms of performance, utility and usability.
