Anybody know where to find the System folder for Search Results (Windows)?

[malik641]

Hey guys,

I was wondering if there was a way to interact (by VBA, of course) with a "search results" folder....but I'm not sure exactly how it works to begin with ...like if it's a newly created folder each time a search is ran or if it's always one specific folder and if the files/folders within that folder are like pointers or whatever.

How does this work exactly? Or does anyone have any resourses to point me to?

TIA :)

Yes. Set a reference to "Microsoft Shell Controls And Automation"
Browse the various classes. Especially these three:
Shell
ISearchCommandExt
SearchCommand


but I'm not sure exactly how it works to begin with ...like if it's a newly created folder each time a search is ran or if it's always one specific folder and if the files/folders within that folder are like pointers or whatever.

It appears that this is a simple listview with icons. I have installed MS Desktop Search or I would try an provide you with an example...
