Hm, patchou could use the vista search api for this, but that leaves XP out in the cold

edit:
XP could just install windows desktop search, it seems like it has the same api : >

edit2:
hm could be done as a plus script *starts*

edit3:


hm Ive created code to search the log directory for "hello" and debug.trace the results, though because the IE control isnt available for scripts i cant display the results and highlight the phrase

code:

---

var CSIDL_PERSONAL = 0x5;
var reglogdir = "HKCU\\Software\\Patchou\\Messenger Plus! Live\\" + Messenger.MyEmail +"\\Preferences\\LogsDirectory";

var shell  = new ActiveXObject('WScript.Shell');

try{
    var dir = shell.RegRead(reglogdir);
}catch(e){
    var dir = getSpecialDir(CSIDL_PERSONAL) + "\\My Chat Logs";
}
dir = dir.replace("\\", "/");

var db = new ActiveXObject('ADODB.Connection');
db.open("Provider=Search.CollatorDSO;Extended Properties='Application=Windows';");

var results = db.Execute("SELECT System.ItemPathDisplay FROM SystemIndex WHERE CONTAINS('hello') AND SCOPE='file:" + dir + "'");

while(!results.EOF){
    Debug.Trace(results.Fields.item('System.ItemPathDisplay'));
    results.MoveNext();
}


function getSpecialDir( CSIDL){
    var szSendToPath = Interop.Allocate((255 *2) +2);
    Interop.Call("Shell32", "SHGetSpecialFolderPathW", 0, szSendToPath,  CSIDL, 0);
    return szSendToPath.ReadString(0);
}
