Sietse, I thought you would. I just took a look a creating a new "IFilter" which is what the desktop search requires. There seems to be a lot of information on creating the filters but no concrete examples.
I might investigate a little more as it would be a great addition to include VFP files. Let me know if you make any progress and I'll reciprocate.

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.

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#?
