Sometimes the old users miss the windows XP style of
search. They crave forthe interface when things were simple. Even the
new users of Win7 are sometimes boggled by the complexity of search
embedded. I belong to the old block and those who are desperate for
hard action thereis a good news.
This swiss knife is better known as SearchMyFiles.
This utility has some of the meanest add-on which will make your life
a hell lot easier while you wade your way to the evergrowing number
of files in your Hard Disk Drive.
It is a portable file search utility with a single
untabbed interface search options accessible from a single screen —
making powerful search easy. You name it and this baby has it in its
arsenal.
The app size merely occupies a puny 100Kb. You can
specify from where to stary your search in the directory tree. There
is a nifty little option of excluding the folders. Then you can play
with the permutation and combination of wildcards to your heart's
content. Man this works like magic and you can even have the facility
of excluding file extensions!
Added functionalities like attribute search, Hidden files, Compressed
ones, vital system files, archived and encrypted ones can be nested
together in a typical search. If this does not whet your appetite
then what about time based search where you can find files which are
accessed, modified or even created bearing a particular time stamp.
Last but not the least one can limit the search to first hundred,
thousand or ten thousand results.
Ittakes little time to start using it effectively
but once you get the hang ofit then there is no looking back.
SearchMyFiles is a free download for Windows only compatible from Win 2000 to Win 7 flavors. Point your browser to
www.nirsoft.net and start the
action.
