Date is also among the list of items according to which to perform search, with the possibility to save all configurations to file for later, easier processing. Initiating the process might take a few seconds more than others of its kind, but this is only because of the thoroughness of the scan, and you’re sure to find what you’re looking for in the end.Ĭriteria can be set to match regular expressions, case, or Office and PDF documents. Two search fields are put at your disposal, one for regular items, while the other lets you look up specific text inside documents. Sure enough, you can use it to quickly identify files in the same manner you would from using Windows Search, but it’s a shame not to at least have a look at the filter options. In terms of visuals, the whole engine is wrapped around an advanced main window, with several tabs for search and related filter options, as well as a large space for detected items. The application takes little time to get installed and you’re free to check out the set of features before you even notice.

Clean visuals and quick accommodation found in a file searcher Luckily, there are various trustworthy alternatives like FileLocator Lite with tons of configurable criteria and fast processing. It's easy to use, yet packed full of options, fast searches, simply the best in my opinion.If that specific file you’re looking for is not on the desktop, chances are you’re going to have a hard time finding it, especially if the built-in Windows search engine doesn’t tickle your fancy. When it comes to searching, I'm sorry, I've tried a lot of others over the years and no one has it down like Mythicsoft. Agent Ransack is it's scaled down free version which is still awesome for those who only need quick searching and not extreme amounts of options, although Agent Ransack does have a lot as well and I used it for a long time.

Now, I have a large amount of files to search so I can actually use most of the features at times. I have the X64 version and let me say, if you have a decent PC at all, or even if not, I have shut off Windows Search so the indexing isn't running all the time, save resources,(although I shut it off anyway) and this will find things extremely quick, almost instantly with X64. You can choose numerous options like lines per search, types of files, date of files, the list goes on and on. If you want an in-depth customized search for anything on your pc, this will do it.

I have this and I still haven't touched all the options.
