Does anyone know how to launch a search with paramters from within a program?
for example :
LaunchSearch( ALL_DRIVES, " *.cpp " );
The result would be a windows search launched without further user input.
Thx, I'd appreciate it.

Look at the thread, someone has done most of it for you.

Some code using FindFirstFile()
a * is any number of characters
a ? is one character
Yes, I might be able to do that with the FindFirstFile and what not... but the problem is that I need the actual 'windows search' dialog box to come up and start searching without any questions.
I know it seems a little odd, but I merely want to act as a router that takes in input and then starts the 'windows search' to finish the job.
