SearchForEx Example

 Dim searchResults As Object
 Dim search2 As Object
 Dim criteria As Object
 Set criteria = CreateObject("Wilbur.SearchCriteria")
 criteria.FileName = "*.txt"

 ‘ get the list of files with extension *.txt
 ' containing the phrase entered
 ‘ in the Text1 field 

 Set searchResults = _
        wilbur.SearchForEx(Text1.Text, criteria)

 ‘ Extract the names from the list and use them
 ' to fill a list box

 Dim bResult As Boolean
 Dim nCount As Integer

 nCount = 0
 bResult = searchResults.setToStart

 ' get number of results
 Dim nTotal As Integer
 nTotal = searchResults.getCount

 While bResult

Dim lastMod As Date

' check to see if this result matches any proximity requirements
If searchResults.isNearOK Then
  lastMod = searchResults.getModifiedDate
  rank = searchResults.getRank
  List1.AddItem searchResults.getPath + _
  Chr(9) + Str(rank) + Chr(9) + Format(lastMod)
End If


nCount = nCount + 1

Status = "Checking near " & nCount & " of " & nTotal

bResult = searchResults.setToNext

This will search the index and place matching files in the searchResults object. This list is then looped through and the path names, modified dates and search rank of the files which meet any proximity requirement are placed in the list box. A status line is updated with a file count.
