>In another thread, I was searching for a way to use the Windows Explorer "search" programatically. This lead to a discussion of available search products, which led me to "Filer". I checked it out and it's just what I need. Or was, until someone mentioned that it's not distributable. Sigh.

I've done a revision of Filer without the .dll, and you can use it all you like - it was more of an exercise than a real thing, and I never actually finished it. I wanted to have all the buttons it originally had (up to V3.0), so I could use it to move files around etc. Look for filer2.zip in Files section. Pure Fox.
