[HELP]Creating a search engine[HELP]
Is there anyway to create a search engine/search directory via VB Developer Settings in Visual Studio Professional 2008?

Just using a basic Windows Form not Web Application, the search engine/directory will only search through my system/drives.

Would you do this using a database? And how would I even set up a database?..
A database for searching threw your system/drives? Lol.

I guess, i'm just now learning VB lol..
Why would you want a DATABASE for searching/listing/whatever files on your computer?

You can easily list all your files with just 4 lines of code.

My.Computer.FileSystem.GetFiles.

I see, thank you sir.

As I said am just now learning it and the book we use in school is just terrible + the teacher is terrible as well..But yah thats just excuses
It would be faster if you indexed all your computer's files somewhere, but no, that is not required.
What exactly are you looking for?
A search engine to search the web i.e Google, Yahoo
Or an engine to search through files?
