Differences in IS between Win2K and Win2K3

[Kurt Greiner]

Are there any significant improvements in the Index Server that is part of
Windows 2000 and the one in Windows 2003?

I am interested in things like query language improvements, performance
improvements, more relavent result sets returned, and any other general
differences.

Disappointingly, MSDN leads me to believe they are the same Index Server in
both 2000 and 2003, that there are no improvements.

Can anyone confirm either way from personal use and experience with both?

It is my understanding that there were only bug fixes in Windows 2003.
Nothing major engine or query wise.
