Microsoft desktop search, anyone created an Ifilter for labview vi indexing?

As a longtime LabVIEW developer, with projects spanning LabVIEW 3.0 -> LabVIEW 8+.  I have tons of VIs.  I have a pretty good organizational scheme that has matured over the past 15+ years.  Of course, many 'utility' vis that I use often, have a designated location... and I know where they are.  But sometimes I run into problems that I know I have solved in the past... and after many NI weeks, and killed braincells, I do not remember what project or version of LabVIEW I created the solution for... So I have to scour my previous projects (OK I admit, I rarely look past Version 5... but that is neither here nor there.)  with the desktop search indexing my emails in outlook... I no longer have tons of email folders... I only have one for saved professional correspondence and one for saved personal correspondence.  I use desktop search to find what I am looking for.  With that being said...an Ifilter would be great.  A cursory google search has turned up zippo.
So before  I try to tackle building my own ifilter, I thought I might ask... maybe some of you C gurus out there could whip it together pretty quick, or better yet, does someone already have one?
BR,
Paul

Hi,


Googling results seem to be kludged by retailers selling there filters... I found this article: http://www.codeproject.com/csharp/fulltextsearchingifinters.asp . It shares some details about how IFilters can be made. It's not trivial though... It would be interesing to have, so perhaps someone (might be me, but not anytime soon) can make something for it.


Regards,


Wiebe.
