Hi,

Is there a way for a .Net app to use the "Search" function in Windows
Explorer? The only information I found about this is on the Indexing Server
which is not quite what I want.

Or can anyone suggest other file search technique that I can use?

Thanks,
 
Hi Victor,

First of all, I would like to confirm my understanding of your issue. From
your description, I understand that you need to make use of the find
function in windows explorer in your app. If there is any misunderstanding,
please feel free to let me know.

As far as I know, we cannot do this in our own app. There is no API for us
to call find function and return the list of files. Calling index service
seems to be the only way.
