Well I havnt been able to test it as everything I try with the test programs 
fail so I'll have ot take your word for it ;) (ill try again later)

Basicly, my program needs to be able to search through a bunch of files for 
certian information (very simmilar to a regular find program). Yet, my 
program needs to have the 'theoretical' ability of searching in 'virtal 
folders' of archives. (theoretical meaning not that it HAS too, but this is 
somthing that I would really like to expand to...) Also, I dont want to 
hardcore into my program what mimetypes have plugins, and so forth.

There dosnt really seem to be a flexible way to do this currently... :/

Thanks for your time!
