> 2. What does the data store look like?

In the Google Desktop Search folder, the following files are present:

dbc2em.cf1
dbc2emh.ht1
dbdam
dbdao
dbeam
dbeao
dbm
dbu2dm.cf1
dbu2dmh.ht1
dbvm.cf1
dbvmh.ht1
fii.cf1
fiih.ht1
hes.evt
rpm.cf1
rpmh.ht1
sites.txt

I was looking at the .exe files for the Desktop Search and noticed a c:\src\1.0_branch\googleclient\total_recall\build\release\obj\trs\GoogleDesktopIndex.pdb - this is a Windows programs so the datastore may be a proprietary "Program DataBase" build by MS Visual Studio like VC++.
