Hi Dave, Thanks for the pointer but I really want to extend the Mickeysoft's desktop search, for eventually I'll probably switch to Vista and the desktop search engine is default included in the OS.

I have .prg, .vcx/vct and .scx/sct ...etc. The search is EXTREMELY rapid and displays the .prg (being a text file straight away and the vcx/vct files are displayed by location allowing you to load up VFP automatically with the file in question. Certainly worth a look and it doesn't strangle your machine like M$'s offering does. Dave Crozier -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Sietse Wijnker Sent: 27 February 2007 23:54 To: [email protected] Subject: Windows Desktop Search and VFP Hi all, I've grown used to the Windows Desktop Search functionality to quickly find content on my system, but it lacks indexing for VFP code. After some research I found that it's possible to create an indexer that handles specific kind of files. Like there's a PDF iFilter that indexes the content for PDF files into the WDS search index. Nowhere however I could find even a reference for an iFilter implementation for SCX or VCX files. Has anyone here heard of some initiative like this? I've also looked for some samples of creating a VFP iFilter implementation myself, but the documentation on how to create one is also hard to find/understand. Anyone knows of some examples, preferably in VB/C#?
