indexing whole harddrive

[Azlan Abdul Latiff <az...@myjaring.net>]

how can I index the whole hard drive?  I tried using "c:/" but it didnt
work.

The results only return c:/ directory where as a I want it to index all
the sub folders as well as the the other directories.

You have to recursively traverse the directories using something like...(in
Java)

void indexDocs(String file){
if (file.isDirectory()) { // if a directory
         String[] files = file.list(); // list its files
         for (int i = 0; i < files.length; i++) // recursively index them
            indexDocs(new File(file, files[i]));

      }
....
}
