Provide more details about search results in Start Menu
Would be very helpful to get more information about the selected search result (especially thumbnails for images). Show what is in the details pane in Windows Explorer and for applications the Start Menu could show the Jump List for the selected program.
Display the details pane for a selected file and a Jump List for an application.

...which is exactly why it won't be implemented! It makes too much sense.
Another reason might be because they got rid of the start menu buttons for a reason (more text) and want to keep it that way. +1

Sorry for being offtopic but i really don't like how the Windows Search can't index partitions which are not NTFS. I use Macdrive to read my Mac partitions and Vista can't index it.

Really like your illustration :)
That's what the full search windows is there for.
@alphanerd: I don't want to search. I wanne find it quick and start doing something. Imagine how fast it would be to open the last Word document you have worked on? Type in "word", go right to the Jump List and hit Enter.
@alphanerd: There's nothing wrong with implementing features in multiple ways to improve productivity.
+1, this is an excellent idea. I could definitely see this coming in handy.
SUPERB IDEA!!!!!!!
+1 (i wish i cud give it +2)
Great idea and its very use full too... no need to open search.. Microsoft should implement this..
what a brilliant idea!The best I have seen so far
Excellent idea!
+1, additions like this will truly make 7 the marvel OS that Microsoft needs to repair Vista's bad image with the marketplace; the detailed info just makes so much sense and people would notice that when using it.
great idea
+ 1 like it
a expand button would help view all those 22 pictures in screenshots
@Zerlot: You are now able to click on the headline which will show you all search results of this type.
In addition - when i do a search, hit one of the selected items and discover it's not the one I wanted, why do I have to retype my search? What happened to the classic "Find Again" algorithm. Yeah, I can hit return and wait for a display of all the found items, but often what I'm looking for is in the first list.
Awesome man! Like it :D
This is for sure the best idea I've seen so far
