Excellent file search software that leverages an extremely customizable find menu to help track down very specific information. Search using a long list of conditions:
- Contents (binary AND text)
- Size
- Multiple dates (last accessed, created, modified)
- File type (hidden, compressed, encrypted, read-only, etc.)
- Can fiind folders OR files
These conditions make up the bulk of the program's interface but there is a "stop searching after ___ files" item at the bottom, which performs a great "parking brake"-type feature, preventing endless searching.
Non-Indexing
The program does not try to make an "index" or a breakdown of information included on a drive. This offers several advantages to this because "the quality of the index and search quality may be degraded due to the mixed content and improper word proximity" (wikipedia), a problem present in programs like the outstanding portable Everything software and non-portable DK Finder.
System Requirements
If you can run Windows 2000, you can run this software. Works with all versions of Windows after Win2K.
