Remarks

Use the FileSearch property of an individual application's Application object to return the FileSearch object.

Use the NewSearch() method to reset the search criteria to the default settings. All property values are retained after each search is run, and by using the NewSearch method you can selectively set properties for the next file search without manually resetting previous property values.
