You might also find http://pinvoke.net/[^] useful if you're just looking for the function itself. :)

Disclaimer: This is not intended as a programming question, and I'm only stating the problem here because I was asked. I'm trying to write an app that finds and saves a list of all files containing a set of keywords on a Windows XP machine as part of a data audit. Windows Explorer can perform this search, but not export the results of the search. So I figure that the search in Windows Explorer is powered by some DLL somewhere that not only searches files that are plain text (as would be easy in .Net) but also Word, Excel files etc. So what I could do with is a DLL that can search a given directory, with parameters for date range, and will search inside files for a given string.
