That is good to know.
I used their internet search a long time ago, way before Google
I feel the same about Microsoft’s desktop search after upgrading
to office 2007 (Lookout for outlook no longer works). It indexes all outlook mail
too.
I just discovered that Microsoft’s desktop search has same
capability you can select for each file extension to index properties only or
properties and file contents. We’ll see how well it does…

Subject: Desktop Search --- RE: [amibroker] afl files / Windows XP
I recently installed Copernic Desktop Search and I could not be
more pleased. You can tell it which files (and even which folders) to
index, and then you may search for any terms across any files. I looked at
the folder that holds all of the indexed terms databases, and it had 1 G of
data in it--for the index!! But it will find anything in no more than 3
or 4 seconds. I find it very very useful (even essential) to be
able to look up any term in any afl file that I have on my hard drive.
Imagine 6200+ afl files. . . some are clearly useless but lots of examples
will pop up after a search. I uninstalled Windows Desktop Search and
Yahoo Desktop Search. Copernic DTS is for me. And it is free for
non-commercial use.

1. Access
means open file by double clicking on its name?
a. what
application is associated with .afl? (i.e. notepad.exe)?
b. I do
not believe Windows indexes the content of afl files, not even Microsoft
Desktop search
2. If
you use UltraEdit to edit afl files, you can search from within UltraEdit for
all .afl files with certain strings in them. Fairly nice implementation. A
byproduct of using this application is the ability to do syntax highlighting of
afl language (there is wordfile.uew posted somewhere for that)

Having
a problem with handling afl files.
Code
works OK ...problem is:
1.
When I access afl files by using windows explorer, files are slow to apear in
window .. appears as though they are not indexed.
2.
When I do a search for specific text with an afl file, files is not found ...
(even though file with seach text exists).
