[AccessD] Using MS Access to read the Windows Index

I have created a folder where I scan documents into searchable pdf files.  I
have windows (7 Ultimate) indexing setup to index on the contents, and now I
want to write a query that uses the Windows Index file as the recordsource.
I am hoping to set up this as perhaps a linked table, and build a query that
looks something like:

 

Select filename, path FROM WindowsIndexFile where IndexedContent =
mysearchstring1 OR IndexedContent = mysearchstring2; where I am totally
guessing what the fields are.

 

My computer tells me that the index is stored on C:\Program Data\Windows,
but there are a lot of folders under that, and I have no clue about where to
look or what the file is or how to access it.

 

Any suggestions appreciated.

 

Thanks.

 

Sincerely yours,
