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

If you're looking for SDK documentation, it probably isn't done yet. We're documenting many aspects of the Shell as the code solidifies, but the full docs won't be complete until release. Some new docs on thumbnails will become available at Beta 2, I'm not sure about the OLE DB provider.
I'll be curious to see what the new thumbnail-related stuff is about. Stuff that goes beyond IExtractImage I take it?
Assumably, existing IExtractImage-based thumbnail handlers will continue to work on Vista?
The new thumbnail API is IThumbnailProvider, which is a simpler API that also has support for large images and alpha.
And yes your existing IExtractImage stuff should still continue to work in Vista.
