You mean something like this ?

qry = CreateObject("ixsso.Query")
utl = CreateObject("ixsso.Util")
utl.AddScopeToQuery(qry,"c:\My Path","deep")
qry.Query = "buchanan near steven and @filename = *.txt"
qry.Catalog = 'System'
Qry.SortBy = "path[a], size[d]"
Qry.Columns = "path, size, write"
Qry.MaxRecords = 300
oRecordset = Qry.CreateRecordSet("nonsequential")
? oRecordset.RecordCount
IF oRecordset.RecordCount > 0
	lcTempXML = SYS(2015)+'.xml'
	oRecordset.Save(lcTempXML,1)
	XMLTOCURSOR(lcTempXML,'FileList',512)
	BROWSE FIELDS path, size, write, mypath = MLINE(path,1)
	return
endif
