Querying Windows Search

BenWh has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Dear Monks, years ago I managed to write a little Windows search tool in Perl, making use of the old Windows Indexing Service (based on code from indexing service). Now that this service is no longer available after Windows 7, I wonder if and how I can query the new Windows Search from Perl. Any help much appreciated!

Do you have any information on the newer Windows indexing service (I would think that it still exists, but just with a different API)?	[reply]

There's some information here: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/bb266517(v=vs.85).aspx - including some code in other languages, but I'm not sure how to translate that to Perl.	[reply]
