I have found a solution, anyone who want to let their app folder to support windows search in C# can do like below:

  1. Download Windows Search API (http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?displaylang=en&id=7388)

  2. Import Micosoft.Search.Interop namespace.

  3. write the code

    Uri path = new Uri(location);

string indexingPath = path.AbsoluteUri;

CSearchManager csm = new CSearchManager();
CSearchCrawlScopeManager manager = csm.GetCatalog("SystemIndex").GetCrawlScopeManager();
manager.AddUserScopeRule(indexingPath, 1, 1, 0);
manager.SaveAll();
