Windows search - full text search in c#

Here is the code that does work - in example I made it to search for the word "dummy" in the desktop folder:
string connectionString = "Provider=Search.CollatorDSO;Extended Properties=\"Application=Windows\"";
OleDbConnection connection = new OleDbConnection(connectionString);

string query = @"SELECT System.ItemName FROM SystemIndex " +
   @"WHERE scope ='file:" + System.Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.Desktop) + "' and FREETEXT('dummy')";
OleDbCommand command = new OleDbCommand(query, connection);
connection.Open();

List<string> result = new List<string>();

OleDbDataReader reader = command.ExecuteReader();
while (reader.Read())
{
    result.Add(reader.GetString(0));
}

connection.Close();
