Greetings,

What's being displayed here in the blog is found by clicking the Activities button and then
choosing Search (or in your case Zoeken).

But, I guess what you're really talking bout the search field in the conversation window
itself (under Send?). This feature should be available in Belgium so you should be seeing it
assuming your Passport/Windows Live ID locale is set to the correct country. If this is the
problem, do you have tabs in your main contact list window?

Hi ,


Okay , i use live messenger 8.1 but i really dont see an " activities "
button , ...

HUh i am not allways in belgium , yes the seach space on the bottom works
over europe and in Israel , i can say that for live mess 8.0 .

I am really looking for that search field ont he right side in messenger ,
like if you would click the encarta bot , then your messenger window gets
bigger and on the right you have encarta , ....

It would be good to have this so i dont allways have to open IE for a search .

Thanks in advance !

Have a nice day

Hi,

What's being displayed here in the "task frame" has be initiated, it won't always be there.
Additionally, this search activity is only shown to you, your contact's don't see it.

The activities button is the 5th icon over with the film and music note, as seen here:

The system doesn't care what your actual location is, just what information you've placed in
your Passport (changeable under Registered Information at http://account.live.com).

Hi ,


Thank you !!

I cant believe i did not see this before , i was allways thinking about the
the other window , never about the conversation one , .... * idiot *

Now i have an other Q ; are the search results allways like tiles ? If you
click take the tour its different with me , how can you chance that ?

Other Q ; how can you import winks from that lets say have been send by
email ? Where , in what folder do i put them ? Sorry for so many Q's but this
is not my field at all , ....

Well thanks again !

The more i use messenger the more i like it ! WoW , i hope microsoft will
put in more options , its a great program !

Have a nice day
