For non-user-created documents (preferences, etc), you already know where they are. No search needed. For user-created documents, you may as well simply trigger an automatic "import" upon opening documents created with the previous version. (That way, the user isn't forced to wait while everything is done even if he or she doesn't want it done all at once. And you never know, perhaps the user *doesn't* want all of that data changed automatically, for whatever reason. Automatic data migration is something not to consider lightly.)

Why? I am trying to find all files created by previous version of the program, so I can import them into new version auto-magically. Andrei

I need to find all files associated with particular application.
Why?
