That is good to know.
I used their internet search a long time ago, way before Google I feel the same about Microsoft's desktop search after upgrading to office 2007 (Lookout for outlook no longer works). It indexes all outlook mail too. I just discovered that Microsoft's desktop search has same capability you can select for each file extension to index properties only or properties and file contents. We'll see how well it does.

You can tell it which files (and even which folders) to index, and then you may search for any terms across any files. I looked at the folder that holds all of the indexed terms databases, and it had 1 G of data in it--for the index!! But it will find anything in no more than 3 or 4 seconds. I find it very very useful (even essential) to be able to look up any term in any afl file that I have on my hard drive. Imagine 6200+ afl files. . . some are clearly useless but lots of examples will pop up after a search. I uninstalled Windows Desktop Search and Yahoo Desktop Search. Copernic DTS is for me. And it is free for non-commercial use. Ken _____ From: amibroker@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of J.

Access means open file by double clicking on its name? a. what application is associated with .afl? (i.e. notepad.exe)? b. I do not believe Windows indexes the content of afl files, not even Microsoft Desktop search 2. If you use UltraEdit to edit afl files, you can search from within UltraEdit for all .afl files with certain strings in them. Fairly nice implementation. A byproduct of using this application is the ability to do syntax highlighting of afl language (there is wordfile.uew posted somewhere for that) Joseph Biran ____________________________________________ From: amibroker@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ara Kaloustian Sent: Sunday, June 01, 2008 7:05 PM To: AB-Main Subject: [amibroker] afl files / Windows XP Having a problem with handling afl files.
