Default A search tool to the wishlist

Presently, the windows search tool searches file names, and terms, phrases,
or words within a file.
I just got to try the DSO File search tool, and while I'm impressed, it
takes too long to accomplish what I'm seeking to accomplish.
Recently, a colleague and I found that we have a need to look in
BuiltInDocumentProperties, as mainly he, but both of us have macros that
extract data from the contents of a workbook, and inputs that data into the
various BuiltInDocumentProperty dialogue boxes-- Author, Category, Comments,
etc......
I wanted to obtain a macro that would look in the BuiltInDocumentProperties
for specific search terms we define in an input box. We have multiple files
with large numbers of worksheets that are not identified in the file name. We
do however identify those worksheets in the comments dialogue.
What'd be nice is to have an add-in to the windows search tool that allows
for searching BuiltInDocumentProperty dialogues.
