My point is that speed comparisons should be done against working code, and you were saying that ADIR and SYS(2000) did not work in your case, making speed comparisons irrelevant, like comparing a Jaguar that refuses to start against an old reliable Citroen 3CV running at an incredible speed of 20Km/h, which one will take you faster to your job?

Did you try to use Google Desktop search API?
I never used it so I can't be in help, but maybe you could try and tell us if it is a good utility.
