The search tool in Windows Vista will be automatically upgraded according to Computerworld’s report that was posted earlier today. Microsoft said that, “If a Windows Vista user has set their machine to automatically install updates, Windows Search 4.0 will automatically install on PCs running Windows Vista SP1.”

The release date of this upgraded tool is in mid-July according to the blog of Microsoft Update.

Windows XP users can also have this upgrade but they must call up Windows Update first and select Search 4.0 to be installed.

After the installation, the operating system will completely re-index the data of the user which could take several hours.
