SearchMyFiles v3.25 Updated

Andrew Lee on 8 Apr 2024

SearchMyFiles is a powerful alternative to the standard Windows search. It allows you to easily find files by wildcard, last modified/created/last accessed time, file attributes, content (text or binary search) and file size. File types available for search includes Microsoft Office and PDF files. The program also be detect duplicate files via the "Search Mode" drop-down box.

Note that the program is non-indexing, meaning it searches the drive directly, which is often slower but more accurate.

MIKLO on 2018-04-06 14:57

I have tried and used several search apps before and was not very impressed but as soon as I saw that this product was from NirSoft I knew I had to try it. NirSoft makes so many great apps that I use a lot, its difficult to say something new about them due to the fact that just about everything they make works great and is pretty awesome overall. One thing is 4sure the native Micro$oft search engine is close to worthless, so just about anything will be an improvement.

freakazoid on 2022-01-11 16:08

The latest version is such a welcome addition as it allows you to set the font and size used in the search results.

My eyes are not what they once was, so increasing the font size makes things much more legible for me especially when sitting far back in my chair!

BPBible Portable v0.5.3.1

billon on 5 Feb 2020
  • 24MB (uncompressed)
  • Released on 29 Apr 2016
  • Suggested by gp_hbk

BPBible is a free, flexible Bible Study tool designed for ease of use. The program has many of the features you would expect including bible, commentary, and dictionary support, search, scripture tooltips etc. BPBible uses a proximity-based search, rather than just a verse-based search. This means that a search can cross-verse boundaries, giving a more natural search. It also supports regular expressions and phrases.

BPBible can read many modules (the above program size is without any modules installed). The main module repository is the CrossWire SWORD Modules repository.

Additional features include filtering options, search duplicates or singles, customisable date format etc.

This program is great. I can't believe Windows is now so convoluted that the basic out of the box search works so poorly.

DriveSort v1.00

lwc on 6 Dec 2021
  • 32KB (uncompressed)

DriveSort shows you an entire drive or a selected sub-folder by what are usually the most important criteria: the largest and newest files. For speed and simplicity, DriveSort displays only the top 100 files that match your sort criterion.

Most disk space tools show only folder sizes until you "zoom in"; DriveSort is a shortcut to show which specific files are usually of greatest interest.

I recommend using Everything (http://www.portablefreeware.com/index.php?id=1479) instead and organize results by date. This program runs a little faster than Everything's initial drive search and then sort, but solves the issue of not being able to resize the DriveSort the window, not being able to change the top files to 50 or 200, or the ability to update automatically with new file changes.

Maybe it depends on the browser you use. I still use an old Opera-version (Opera@USB 10.0) for most of my work and there I got the ZIP.

Its one of those annoying programs which opens its windows on the desktop.

Kermode on 2010-02-12 06:45

By open on the desktop I mean "open on the desktop" - most PC programs open a 'master' window, and all child windows open inside it - so if you minimize the main window they all minimize.
Here they stay on the desktop, and it can be be annoying to untangle them when you have 20 other windows open (like me).
The program is a bit primitive, i think it is missing some needed features (like keyboard shortcuts, and being able to drop a picture on it etc) - but it seems to work as advertised :)
