Nice Free Windows File Search Utility Called "UltraSearch"

[Widget]

I found this utility program a couple of weeks ago and thought members here might like it. Some of you may already be using it. It is a file search program called UltraSearch and is available from Jam Software at http://www.jam-software.com.

I had been using Everything (another search utility) for years, but UltraSearch is even better. Unlike Everything, it doesn't have to create a database to store its search results. UltraSearch can search Windows MFT directly and it is quite fast. I can of course search for files like "My*.b4a;My*.bas" but I can also search the contents of these files for strings like "HTTP" etc.. These searches are also quite fast compared to other methods I tried in the past. The results can be sorted by path, file name, size, last modified etc..

It helps me find B4A libraries or code snippets that I've downloaded and can't remember where I put them. If I can remember part of the file name or a string that was in the file, I can find it in under 30 seconds.

Like I said, it is a free download and no adware. If you guys misplace files as much as I do, you can put it to good use. The price is very attractive too.

They also have FileList and TreeSize which are also pretty handy.

There's a pretty advanced search in Total Commander aswell.

also multi (wildcard) filter,in archives, foldernames only, file date, file size, file attributes
on text (string, hex, regex, ascii, unicode...), subfolder depth limit, only in selected folder ...

with the benefit to feed the results to the panel to do more nifty things with it
(copy, delete, pack, save to file list text file for batch jobs etc)

it's an all-in tool that more people should use to speed up their daily jobs.

I have installed the mentioned Treesize tool on some noob persons machines because it only does what it's made for
so they can easily see where the big folders are which is perfect.

but for myself I use the left-shift+left-alt+enter combo in total commander to list folder sizes.
