It should be noted (from what I saw on RC2) that if you omit the double quotes from the column names, the result set has all of the column names in upper case. This could throw off logic in weird places if you actually rely on the column names instead of ordinal.

Also, I'm really struggling with the list of columns/properties. So many in the SDK documentation do not appear to work. As far as I can tell, either a column is good or not. In other words, if you specify a System.Media.* property when it doesn't apply, you get a <null>, not an error. If I get "column does not exist" this implies that it is never valid with this provider. Will the OLE DB search columns be documented soon?

Thanks!

I posted a list of the shell properties that work with WDS on my blog: http://www.ariankulp.com/archive/2006/11/15/1952.aspx. Can you talk about why the other columns aren't known to the search index?

Thanks!
