Now that is interesting. I have been enjoying fast searching for files on a
Windows Server 2003 for a few months, but have wished that the query GUI
was a little more friendly: Less clicking to start it, and remember that I
only do advanced searches. I would also prefer a default of AND for keyword
searches, and a couple of other things.

Anyway, it appears that if I am sufficiently motivated, I could write a
reasonably simple front-end myself. Perhaps I could use this (which I just
found, but haven't yet looked at):

Can you recommend a sample app that implements a search front end?
