use MS Search in VBA

[IceFrogBG]

Hi all,
Anyone can help me how to use search-ms.
I copied code from internet but it doesn't work.
Please see my file for detail and support me.
Thanks all.

RetVal = Shell("c:\Windows\explorer.exe"" ""search-ms:query=080023CE2A62
&", vbNormalFocus)

What do you want to happen?

Do you want an Explorer window to open or a list of matching items ?

If you want an explorer window use:
retval = Shell("explorer.exe " & Chr(34) & "search-ms:query=*.pdf&crumb=location:c:\" & Chr(34), vbNormalFocus)

If you want a list, have a read of:
