IFilter in VB6 - Can it be done?I need to create a simple IFilter to work with Windows Search. This
is for a proprietary database file format (flat file database). The basic text filter that comes with Windows Search doesn't cut it, I guess because the file format mixes binary data with the text, so full text searches often miss files. Apparently MS discourages folks from writing IFilters in .NET because it isn't "native code". Is this a situation where VB6 could be the little engine that could? Any advice appreciated! -Max ============================================== Overview of IFilter: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd583122.aspx Max Plank wrote:
