[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.

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?
