       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)

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

                       ' a list showing where the expression matches occurred.
