If Microsoft Search does as you describe. Isn't it just:
1) Open file
2) Determine file type
3) Convert file content to UTF8, if text based, and you have the API to
read it. .html, .txt., .doc, .excel, etc.
4) Perform string search, regex.
5) Continue to next file
As far as I know, Lucene is not designed for unindexed search.

How can you use Lucene like the very limited but fast search that
Microsoft Windows Search provide?
The use case is that the users have a CD with lot of files. I provide
them a nice user interface. They have the option to generate the full
text search index but they should also be able to search without an
index generated. I know that will be slow, but Microsoft Windows Search
is still able to search 500 MB in less than 30 seconds for simpler
matching.
How can I use Lucene for this simpler, not existing index, search?
Or should I have to hook to operating system specific API like Win32 on
Windows?
