SMART-1 will search for signs of water-ice in craters near the Moon's poles...

Wasn't this done last year with negative results (no water-ice found)?

That's right. There is thought to be water or water ice in the bottom of a couple craters or hollows near the pole, but so far no hard data, just an interesting reading from an earlier probe, Clementine, I think.
