Search string in multiple files.

[danasegarane]

Findinfiles looping through all files(Pls refer this..).. its taking much time in directory.getfiles().
Is there any other API which uses Search using some indexing techniques? i need the data in seconds..

The link says Data base connection Error. Do you want to search only in few file types . If yes the consider using the wild cards

Dim value As System.Collections.ObjectModel.ReadOnlyCollection(Of String) = 

My.Computer.FileSystem.FindInFiles(directory ,containsText ,ignoreCase ,searchType ,"*.txt")
