You will need this with Office 2007 B2TR and search is SOOO much better with this build of WDS & OneNote 2007 B2TR.  Check it out...the coverage that I have seen this far has been interesting:

Do you recommend I install this before the ON TR comes out?  I.E., should I tell my users group to install this tonight, or wait till ON B2TR comes out?

# re: Windows Desktop Search 3.0 Beta 2 Available!

Well if you want WDS to have the search UI, better performance and battery management then you should go ahead and install now.  I am not sure how well Office 2007 Beta 2 will work with WDS 3.0 Beta2 (because we haven't tested this).  So if you really want search to be better overall please go for the update and then search might not work as well in the Office Beta2 apps.  However if you want to keep your search experience the same in Office Beta2 then wait until B2TR comes out.

I hope that is clear.  To be honest though most people had problems with search so updating WDS wouldn't hurt things.  Let us know if you have more questions.
