Just a thought - rather than a Windows app, could this be done with
Java or Javascript (will a browser load a Java applet from a local disk?)
or similar, and therefore remain internal to the browser, and (mostly)
cross platform (and on-topic :-).
http://www.google.com/search?q=client-side+search+engine came up with
some interesting hits that could be useful.
