Demo:

We prepared a web-based demonstration, which shows SearchWorks in action. This demo only shows a very limited subset of the component's features. The sample searches for files matching various wildcards. It also shows their icons. Optionally, you can also get file version information (where available).

Here we have a screenshot of the demo application that comes with the component. SearchWorks has allowed to create a quick and dirty clone of the Find Files or Folders applet that comes with Windows.

Double-clicking on any file in the list retrieves various version information.
