Have you sometimes found the Windows search imprecise or lacking in options?
SearchMyFiles is a lightweight freeware app that offers you detailed
parameters for performing searches in amongst your various drives and discs.
SearchMyFiles isn't the fastest search tool available, as it doesn't perform
any indexing of your files to make life easier. However, this means
SearchMyFiles is ready to use from the start without a lengthy setup. You can
set searches to look in specific folders or drives, and exclude others if you
want. You can search for files containing specific text or binary
information, specify the size range of the file your after, and much more.
You can even specify looking for read only, hidden, compressed and encrypted
files. This makes SearchMyFiles a great way to scan folders or drives for
types of file. It's not really user friendly, but if you know a little about
files and formats, SearchMyFiles should be pretty easy to use. What it is
missing is a progress bar - sometimes you may start a search, and give up
when no results appear. This is often because SearchMyFiles hasn't finished -
it's not a very fast engine, and big drives can take a few minutes to scan.
Despite this, it seems thorough and effective. You can use it to search for
duplicate files - try it on your music folder to clean out those irritating
repeated tracks in your collection! *It's not fast, but it's free, full of
features and effective - SearchMyFiles is a valuable little search
application for your toolbox!*Download *SearchMyFiles 1.76* in Softonic
