Not exactly the answer you're looking for, but I use Copernic for my desktop search. I find the web search features annoying, so I've turned them off so it only searches my desktop, a few network folders, and my outlook mail. Best of all, it indexes, so the search is instant. You can easily add extensions for indexing, though .java, etc, seem to be indexed by default. -- Mark Sandford Special Formats Cataloger William Paterson University (973)270-2437 [log in to unmask]
