I sounds good to start the search in another thread. I've done this for the indexing procedure. This is started in another thread and the gui will be informed when indexing is performed. If the user will stop it he has to click on a button stop and then an event is send to the indexerthread. The indexerthread stops if he reaches a safe point. Surely this is for indexing but I think this would work for searching also. stefan
