Did Microsoft not try embed SQL server as the backing store for files in Windows "Chicago" to make search a fundamental part of the OS ???.

  It was a Memphis (NT 4.0) goal, canceled. Later, a Longhorn (Vista, "NT 6.0") goal, also canceled. The Windows file system is still as dumb as it was in NT 3.1 -- hardly any changes since then.

  Close, it was Cairo/NT5 for initial incarnation. Then it kept getting pushed back, finally shipped as a beta, then just didn't ship at all: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WinFS https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WinFS

  I believe you're thinking of WinFS[1] which was destined for Windows "Longhorn"[2] [1]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WinFS https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WinFS [2]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Development_of_Windows_Vista https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Development_of_Windows_Vista
