Vista: Instant search

When you perform a search with Vista's new instant search feature, you can save the search results as a special folder. This powerful feature lets you create a virtual folder, which will dynamically update—when you search next month for files that are less than a week old, the files won't be the same as they were yesterday. Saved searches, aka search folders, are by default is saved in your \\Searches\ folder. You can save all the searches you perform regularly this way. And here's the cool part: Just as with the instant search in the Start menu, with search folders Vista's not just looking for regular files; you can have it include e-mails, contacts, and applications.
