Desktop Search Application: Part 1 [Search Office Doc's With DotLucene]

The Code Project - Desktop Search Application: Part 1 - C# Programming

"Building a Desktop Search Application
Let's take the following exercise: Build a C# application that instantly searches your Documents folder. We need the application to:
Search the content of Office documents (Word, Excel, Powerpoint) - i.e. XLS, DOC, PPT files
Search the content of HTML documents
Search the content of text documents
Search quickly (i.e. give results in less than a second)
Allow to open the documents directly from the results list

Task 1: Full-Text Indexing
For the indexing and searching we will use an excellent search engine called DotLucene. ..."

Looks like it's a DotLucene day.

This article is interesting in that it shows how to use the IFilter interface and DotLucene together to index Office documents (or any other file where you have a IFilter provider). I'm looking forward to Part 2...
