Hi mark,
For the Case Of DataBase Search, U have a "Full Text Search" Engine,
supported by allmost all the database. Create a Serach index using the
FullText Search in u r database fields and then simple isue the sql
command like ..
Select * from Emp where contains(FieldName,"SearchWord") ....
Like that ..
Even sql server also support the XML data type.. So Y not put the all u
r physical file into the database and the search on this files are also
u can done very easly..
By u r performence u need to implement the search on the file system
itself ,, Use Google Desktop Search, Google also provide a Desktop
search api for the application support ..
All the Best ..

Hi
I have an application (in vb.NET 2005) which holds data in SQL Server and
some of the SQL records are simply paths to related files.
I would like to be able to do a text search on both the SQL data and the
contents of any referenced files. The returned list being a listing which
includes both records containing the text and files containing the text.
Does anyone have a simple example of programatically searching for files
containing text?
Thanks very much
Mark
