[AccessD] Slightly OT: MSN desktop Search for MDB's

I use Google Desktop, maybe someone will write a plugin to search mdb's
Maybe there is something similar for below method in MSN

I am not using latest version of GDSE.

but in the search bar type in
 filetype:mdb
which will give me a couple of thousand mdb's in under 5 seconds

or say for string in file name

hyperlink filetype:mdb

It will search inside all your text files with something like

hyperlink filetype:txt

Just your web links

 hyperlink filetype:url


By the way using the GSDE you can call with API's from Access to get 
results returned in xml
still a few bugs tho, especially with international (non latin) encoding 
of xml.
