LookDisk
Find duplicate files and search within files and folders
Lets face it, the plain vanilla search that you get with Windows just doesn't cut it. For those of you who've ever wanted to find duplicate files on your system, or search for exact files or text within files you know that you can waste a lot of time struggling with a search that just doesn't have the power features that you need. That's why we've got LookDisk, the ultimate powerful file searching application.
LookDisk's duplicate file functionality is second to none. You can choose exactly where you want your search to be done, providing a full list of folders to be scanned. You can choose if you want to search within .zip archives, and other types of archives. From the exclusion list you can choose folders to be skipped over if you don't want to search them.
LookDisk can search for the filename or search for text within files, and the reports given are not just a simple list of files, but a grid of file details allowing you to easily select the files that you need, or the files that you don't need if you're trying to free up disk space.
This is one of those applicaitons that you wouldn't even think that you needed, that's until you give it a test spin and then think abbout all the time you'll save.
