Locate32 is an indexing search tool that allows you to find files on local and Windows networking-compatible remote shares. After an initial search of shares, it uses database to provide instant for any number of files and folders. Searches can be set on a variety of criterion including date, size, extension, files/folders, etc.
Note that the databases must be updated to give accurate information. You can customize places to search and frequency of each update (e.g. your desktop hourly, your backup drive weekly). Some file types' contents can be searched including most MS Office file formats, but only some PDFs and image metadata.

I think that:
"2. Follow these instructions to make Locate32 portable" point at non-existent thread. I suppose that the right thread which explains how to make Locate32 portable is this one:

See http://www.portablefreeware.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=75621#p75621 for info on newer versions...
v3.1.11.7100
The latest (probably untested/unstable) 3.1.11.7100 is on http://locate32.net/files/daily/
V3.1.9.6060 (preRC4)
Lastest version is 3.1.10.08220 and is found at http://locate32.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=124&start=15
V3.1.9.6060 (preRC4)
Great LAN Support!. Just for that i'll replace "Voidtools Everything" on my portable apps suite. Thanks for publishing.
Please note the Version 3.1.9.6060 (preRC4)
is AFAIK missing from the webpage and the download link.
There is however a Version 3.1.9.6070 (preRC4)available at the download link.
Very useful. The syntax for tracking down file names is a little odd but the speed and ability to customize is extremely useful for large databases of files.
Smaragdus: confirmed, fixed. Thanks.
