Hi

I look for a program that will interface the indexing tool in Windows XP.

To help you locate the tool (for those who don't know what i am talking)

RMB My computer(poste de travail),

choose manage,

the indexion service should be at the bottom (services and Application).

Thank

A tool to index your computer? One that uses the indexing service itself or
a desktop search application?

A tool that use the service of Windows.

I already have a desktop search engine in yahoo desktop search.

Microsoft provide a indexing service but we do not have any interface to use
it. I know that Vista will have something similar but for now i would love
to use the indexing service of windows.

You already do. If it's turned on (the service) then press Start and click
on Search. Look for files and folders. That uses the indexing service.

Have you tried the "Indexing Query" page in that section?
(I haven't so don't know how useful it is.)

Personally, I have been using FileLocator Pro from www.mythicsoftware.com.
They also have a free program called "Agent Ransack." Neither of these work
against the indexing service but are very useful find tools especially when
searching for text strings.

Hi Thank for the information

One question that come to my mind after trying.

It seem to me that the result are slower than if i made a request directly
into the the indexing.

If RMB on my computer, choose manage go to indexing tool. i have a place
where i could do request to find document.

also do you hav any idea how i can customize the search?

I whan to look for a specific property inside a type of file?

Is their and API for the indexing tool?

Way way way above my level. A search for indexing service API might turn
something up in the MSDN section or TechNet. Alternatively the programming
groups (here on the public newsgroups) might get you to that level.
Honestly? You're digging deeper than I've been with the service and I have
NO idea about the whole API or SDK for MSN DTS for instance. I've been
interested in it but I've not yet made time to learn about the DTS
specifically.
