 engineSearch = New SearchEngineClass

 engineSearch.SearchCriteria.FileName         = "*.txt"

 engineSearch.SearchCriteria.ContainingText   = "search"

 engineSearch.SearchCriteria.LookIn           = "c:\search folder"

 Dim listResult As SearchResultItemList = engineSearch.Start( False )

 ' Output the files, with their text lines and hits to the console

 Dim buildText As New System.Text.StringBuilder

 For nItem As Integer = 0 To (listResult.Count - 1)

         ' Each item in the list includes information about the found

         ' item (e.g. its name and path) and also the list of text lines

         ' found if this was a content search

         Dim item As SearchResultItem = listResult(nItem)

         buildText.Append(item.Path)

         buildText.Append(item.FileName)

         buildText.Append(vbCrLf)

         Dim listText As TextLineList = item.TextLineList

         For nText As Integer = 0 To (listText.Count - 1)

                 ' Each text line includes the line number and text found and also

                 ' a list showing where the expression matches occurred.

                 Dim line As TextLine = listText(nText)

                 Dim listMatch As FLProCoreLib.TextMatchList = line.TextMatchList

                 For nHit As Integer = 0 To (listMatch.Count - 1)
