UltraSearch v2.3.1 Updated
billon on 22 Apr 2019 Change history
- 6MB (uncompressed)
- Released on 15 Apr 2019
- Suggested by guinness
UltraSearch searches thousands of files almost instantly. File name searches narrow as they are typed, as well as with wildcards such as "*.exe". Additional information like file size and last change date are present, as well as access to Explorer's own context menu. You can exclude folders, files, or file-types by providing an "exclude" filter and results can be exported as text, RTF, HTML, CSV and Excel file, or printed.
The program works with NTFS-formatted drives to search without needing to first create an index. The program works directly with a feature of the file system called the Master File Table to give results on thousands of files in moments. Note that you can also search the interior of files for keywords, though this process is much slower than the file search.

AstroGrep v4.4.7 Updated
billon on 5 Apr 2019 Change history
- 2MB (uncompressed)
- Released on 4 Apr 2019
- Suggested by smaragdus
AstroGrep is a search utility for finding text within files quickly. Text found within each file is displayed with sidebar options for further filtering and preferences for text result styling. Searches using keywords and regular expressions are supported with options additionally for printing, storing recently used paths and opening files externally with a text editor (down to the exact line number and column, if supported by the editor).
The program is not an indexing search program, meaning it checks the contents of all files each time it searches. Based on the popular grep search used in *nix.

Everything v1.4.1.935 Updated
billon on 18 Feb 2019 Change history
- 2MB (uncompressed)
- Released on 18 Feb 2019
- Suggested by Drutt
Everything is a powerful search tool that locates files and folders by file name instantly, and includes an FTP and Web server interface. It also can search files by their contents. Unlike Windows search, Everything initially displays all files and folders on your computer. You simply type in part of the desired file name to limit what files and folders are displayed instantly. The more you type, the more specific the list becomes.
Note that the instant-search capability only works on NTFS/ReFS-formatted drives and only uses file and folder names in a file index. The program can separately catalog non-NTFS/ReFS and network servers for searching on a schedule.

In case it does not remembers sort order, you have to edit 2 lines in Everything.ini:

UltraFileSearch Lite v5.3.0 Updated
billon on 31 Jan 2019 Change history
- 2MB (uncompressed)
- Released on 30 Jan 2019
- Suggested by joby_toss
UltraFileSearch Lite quickly finds files, folders and text on your local, network, or external media. The program allows you to specify several file masks and drives/folders at the same time; it is able to sort them according to their properties (e.g. modified date) and find files that contain one or more specific words or sentences.
This utility does not use background indexing. "Standard" (shareware) edition has additional features.

Whilst I do have a commercial licence for this, my personal favourite search utility is File Locator Pro. |
SearchMyFiles v2.91
billon on 27 Dec 2018 Change history
- 152KB (uncompressed)
- Released on 26 Dec 2018
- Suggested by Onesimus Prime
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. The program is non-indexing, meaning it searches the drive directly, which is often slower but more accurate.
Can also be used to detect duplicate files via the "Search Mode" drop-down box.

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. |
