How can I develop Windows Search or other full text indexing functionalities in C#?

[EDN Admin]

Hi,
I have a windows 2003 server. There is a folder called c:AppLogs on it. In this folder, there are a lot of log files which are generating by my applications. The log files in that folder are increasing time to time.
Now, I want to provide a web site (aspx, C#), it provide a web search page. On this page, it provide a text box and let you input any search string. Then it provide a button "Search". When you click the button, it will search out all files in the log
folder which contain the particular string.
I want to use full text search in C# to make above functionalities.
I know how to use Windows indexing service from C#. But I heard from ohters that Windows indexing service was a pretty old technology. And microsoft now provide Windows Search instead it .
I am not sue if WIndows Search can replace Window Indexing Service for my above coding purpose?
If yes, can you please help me for make to implement it in C# and on the server?
I am totally new to Windows Search and would appreciate it if anyone can help me.

Thanks,
Jun
