Search folders inside Apps

What is the function of 'Search' sub folder, present inside the 'Apps' folder? Inside this folder I can see my apps and lots of files with encrypted names. What is the use of it and what does it do?

Set vConcatenate = ;

sub ScanFolder(Root)

          for each FileExtension in 'csv' /* put your extension that you are searching for */

                    for each FoundFile in filelist( Root & '\*.' & FileExtension)

                              FileList:

                              $(vConcatenate)

                              LOAD *, '$(FoundFile)' as SourceFile

                              FROM [$(FoundFile)] (txt, codepage is 1252, embedded labels, delimiter is ',', msq, header is 2 lines);

                              Set vConcatenate = Concatenate;

                    next FoundFile

          next FileExtension

          for each SubDirectory in dirlist( Root & '\*' )

                    call ScanFolder(SubDirectory)

          next SubDirectory

end sub

Call ScanFolder('your_directory') ;
