Peter Martin Wow It works. It is well worth the price for sure!!! and It is fast

Later you might consider expanding File seek capabilities such as search and replace with autosave, boolean search. It surely has a lot of potential.

How much resources does it use and can you put it in a flash drive to carry and use on different computers

Thanks again

Jon Tackabury @Peter: We're always open to suggestions on how to improve FileSeek. FileSeek doesn't use many resources when running, unless you have tens-of-thousands of search results in the list, then it uses more memory to cache those results. You can definitely put FileSeek on a portable drive and use it without installing, we offer a .ZIP download for FileSeek without an installer.

Jun 13 2013 at 11:47am Copy Link

Keith Lammers @Bjondc: It can search inside any text based file, or a file type that there's a file handler installed on your system for. For example, for ZIP files, you would need a ZIP file handler, like this one: http://www.ifiltershop.co...ilter.html. I believe Windows has a built-in file handler for .eml files. You can test it out before buying if you like, just download and install the FileSeek trial from http://www.fileseek.ca/Download

Stephen Cohen Since I received no answer, I tried the trial program. It found a zillion files that did not contain the text string I entered. Each had a comment that there was no file handler for that file format. So, for me, FileSeek is worthless.

For those running XP or earlier, may I suggest the now free SearchGT, which is very fast in finding files and folders by their names.

Brian Smith One feature suggestion might be to use information from EveryThing (if installed) and use this to jumpstart the search process. This would allow you to narrow down files quickly based on the info from EveryThing and then allow you to search inside files or use date ranges very quickly or other powerful things that you can do in your interface than you can't do with EveryThing.

I wanted to find all the .PDQ files on my computer. I left the path blank and was asked to enter one. I put in * and got no results. Help does not mention how to search your whole computer.

Search Everything (limited to NTFS files) found the 123 files in .2 seconds out of the 1,213,456 files on my system and all I had to type was ".PDQ" not in quotes.

cyanic @Robert Bull: I downloaded a copy of Multifind Pro, and subjected both it and FileSeek to a random search I've came up with (in this case, searching for the word "random" in one of my coding folders, which contains a loose collection of 3486 files weighing at 1.18GB). Multifind was about 20 seconds faster.

Comparing features: MultiFind has search by hex and search read only criteria, and can apparently also do search and replace. FileSeek shows file contents (which I think is quite helpful, since it provides a bit of context). Both has search by date, file size, search in file via parsers. Excluding by file extension is implemented differently, where MultiFind has a list of file extensions, while FileSeek has you specify a filter that can exclude more than just file extensions. Both has tabbed searches.

I'd go with FileSeek because of the preview feature, but MultiFind's hex search and slightly faster processing are compelling.

Robert Bull @GMMan: Thanks for the research. Would the speed difference have been affected by the caching effect??

Another I have is BareGrepPro, which is primarily a text-string finder, and also has /regexps/ and the ability to show context. I agree this is a very useful feature and the BdJ FileSeek deal is a low-cost way of getting it. BareGrepPro's UI is a bit unusual, I always get confused about how it stores searches, but it's an out-and-out speed demon. I don't see MultiFind having text *replace*, but I think that's a separate utility. There are times when I don't want fumble-fingers destroying data... I'm a little concerned about FileSeek's being stated as portable as it appears to require .NET, but suppose most modern PCs have that anyway.

Jan 15 2014 at 12:15pm Copy Link

Robert Bull @Cary Adams: Listary is great, but I don't regard Listary and FileSeek as competitors. Listary is for finding particular entries in long lists and for feeding the file you want into File Open dialog boxes. FileSeek looks more for general file-finding; where did I put that PDF manual for Big Clock, that sort of thing.

Jan 15 2014 at 12:21pm Copy Link

cyanic @Robert Bull: I'm not sure about caching effect. The search was done on a networked AFS share, so at least the local disk's cache wouldn't have an effect on it. I ran the search in MultiFind first, but I did fumble a few times for both trying to start my timer (it's difficult to press the mouse when you have to press a button on a watch on the other arm).

HJ B 1. Can the search be limited to file names?

2. When the search is for file contents, will the program search contents of pdf files?

3. While indexing takes up disk space, its purpose is to substantially speed up the search process. My concern is whether I will have to wait long periods of time with this program for it to do a thorough search of a gig of data files. Do you have any stats on FileSeeks search times?

4. What is a "file handler"? I get the impression, from the prior comments, that some file handlers are built into the program and some are not. Where does one get the ones that are not?

Oct 20 2014 at 6:57am Copy Link

Jon Tackabury @HJ B: 1. Yes it can be limited to just file or folder names.

2. FileSeek uses IFilters to process file contents, so as long as you have Adobe Reader installed it can search inside PDF's.

3. FileSeek doesn't do indexing, but it's still faster than the indexed Microsoft search for most searches. Each search is different, depending on file types and computer speed, but you can try FileSeek for free if you want to see how well it works before buying it. :)

Petr Hi Jon,
Thanks for your quick reply. I'm very protective about what I install on my main work computer. I would appreciate a bit more info please.

As far as I know, providing very quick search results requires either an index or a significant amount of RAM. As you say no indexes are using by FileSeek, can I ask how much RAM memory will be used?

Unless I'm missing something... Please provide some details. I use some of your other products and find they work-as-advertised. Thanks for your time.

Jon Tackabury FileSeek searches files one at a time, so it will only use as much memory as needed to search that file. Searching through lots of little files won't use much memory, where a larger file uses more memory until a cut-off point when it starts buffering in chunks. Displaying thousand's of results will use more memory than a few results, but overall the memory usage should be pretty good no matter what you're doing.

Robert Crombie I am impressed with the Trial

Couple of suggestions -

Allow us to minimize the 'Ribbon'(cough). (The selection boxes), so we get a bigger (length) view of the search results grid

Incorporate a Help File, so one can quickly look up info
Or have specific help on each of the textboxes. EG -
- The folder select/exclude boxes, showing what multiple folders would look like
- File contents (query) box

I am ordering a copy now

cyanic @Petr: imagine opening a text document in your text editor and doing a search there. Now imagine it being done with any type of file, and with all files in a folder. That's how I imagine it works. In any case, it's fast, and doesn't use an index. As for memory usage, it uses about 30MB for the program, and another 30MB while searching. Not as good as what could be accomplished with C++ and manual memory management, but for a managed program, it's fairly decent.

@Jon: I was meaning to write this as a bug report, but I might as well put it here. The program assumes "*" to be "*.*". That is most definitely incorrect. "*.*" is a relic from the old DOS days. These days, especially with all the open source software you see that tend to use Unix conventions, you see files with a ".*" pattern, or even without the ".". Forcing "*.*" reduces the results for me at times, and sometimes forces me to manually look for a file.

Michael Burkley I have been looking for a program that would allow me to search within Microsoft Publisher files but have been unable to find one...until now. I just went to your website and installed the trial version and searched for some phrases within some Publisher files (I like that you can stipulate what kind of files you wish the program to search through). It found them! I found that hard to believe and looked at the files to see if the phrase was in the file name. Nope...the phrases were inside the Publisher File. You would think that would be an easy thing to do, but since Publisher puts weird characters between every letter in your documents I've not seen it done, before now. I'm buying it as soon as I finish this note!

Jon Tackabury @Bruno: You can use these operators for you searches using the "Query" field:
https://www.fileseek.ca/FAQ/#textquery

When you enter something in the query field it will always search for this inside files. You can optionally also match this against file names as well, but you can't just match filenames, sorry. You can use the "include files" field with wildcards like "test*.jpg" to find matches though.

@Robert: Take a look at this page for help with queries:
https://www.fileseek.ca/FAQ/#textquery

Clicking the question mark button beside the query field will also take you to this page if you need help in the future. You can use filename wildcards in the "include files" field, like "*.jpg".

For searching, using Listary Pro and Locate32 so far and wondering what FileSeek offers in addition. Found a comparison here:

http://www.techsupportale...search.htm

Locate32 has done a perfect job over the years, but is difficult to use from Windows 8 on.

Maybe someone here could add a few words for better differentiation. Many thanks.

Jon Tackabury @Garry: Yes, FileSeek is fully compatible with Windows 10, and is both 32 and 64-bit compatible.

@Ela: Thanks for your support! I haven't personally used Locate32 so I can't highlight any differences, but I would suggest giving the FileSeek Pro trial a test to see how it compares for you. :)

Ela S. Tested it, bought it and like esp the tab and preview options. Will take me some time to get through all the functions, and try to get a similar work flow as with Locate32 and other progs:

1. Context menu in Windows explorer: Is it possible to position the "Search with FileSeek" on a more prominent position on top of context entries?

2. Search result list in FileSeek Pro: Can files be shown as file details, small or large icons similar as in Windows Explorer?

3. Preview function in FileSeek Pro:
- docs, txts, images are previewed (that's really great)!
- pdfs show a red cross symbol only (PDFXhange is installed)?
- how to preview mhts (IE/Opera/FF archived files)?

Thanks for some technical hints.

Quick answers, in case anyone else is wondering:
1. Not sure, we'd need to check on this.
2. Not at the moment, but we will add this to our feature request list.
3. You need specific preview handlers for those file types. This one has a bunch of common formats: https://bitbucket.org/shp...whandlers/

Nelson Carvalho There are many programs to search for files. Some, or many, are free.
FileSeek, however, has countless search filters. After locating and relating the files found, there are several resources that allow you to evaluate and / or use them.
I recommend the purchase. You will not regret.
Support is efficient and there are ongoing updates that further improve the software.

John User So I downloaded, installed and gave it a try. I'm not sure if it just needs more usage and study, but I couldn't get it to work for me. Again, not sure, but it was incredibly slow as it scanned my relatively small hard drive (80gb) for a file. Maybe because things were not indexed first like other search programs.

Anyway, thanks for the trial, but I think I will uninstall and go back to the free EVERYTHING which I have been using for years.

Robert Crombie XP users- this won't install into XP (MS way of forcing us to give up XP).
I purchased the previous offer from BitsDuJour, and was annoyed that it was not for XP.
Somehow I managed to find the previous version of FileSeek 5.1, and that installed fine. And the key purchased for 5.2.1 was accepted by my version 5.1, which is running in my XP (I like it)
I don't recall where I got the 5.1 version, but is was from no where risky.
Either support at FileSeek gave me a link to that earlier version, or a got it from one of the reputable previous versions sites.

Mark Harper You can search for any type of file, for example *.pdf. You can also search for multiple file types by concatenating with the | (bar) symbol such as *.pdf|*.doc? to search for PDF and Word documents at the same time. It is also possible to search the contents of files as part of a search if desired.
Similarly you can exclude file name and/or extension from a search.
FileSeek does not have its own index as for example Copernic does. Searches are none the less pretty quick. I use it on local, network and remote PC drives.
I exclude OneDrive from searches as this can initiate file downloads if you use OneDrive's Clear space option.
You can enable Preview handlers to view the contents of found files but this obviously slows down sorting through the results.
I used to use Copernic but had problems and now it appears Copernic is only available on annual rental.
I wholeheartedly recommend both the software and the company behind it.
Lifetime free updates are also included, which is rare these days.

I often have to search for a file that I don't know exactly the name of. A simple search using, for example: * abc *. *, brings me the result very quickly.
In addition, I can define various filters such as dates, size, etc., exclude paths / files, etc.
The drives and / or paths that I use are recorded for further research, avoiding having to retype them.
The result appears in an explorer with the data of the files (s) found and several options to manipulate them, selecting one or more files.

Thanks.

Pete User Does FileSeek use the built-in indexing that's part of Windows? Or, does it actually do a brute force search for files and file content?

Jon Tackabury @Pete: It doesn't use indexing, it looks through the files each time you run a search.

Larry W @Jon, Thanks for the quick response. I've been testing the software today and I'm impressed. I'm using the "Download without Installer" version. Can this version be used as a Portable version even through it may not work at 100 percent. Seems to do fine in my tests.

Roberto Amorim When the Discount Coupon Code is applied, the price for the FileSeek Pro Standard License shows $8.75 instead of $5.25.

Constantin Florea @Roberto Amorim, Could you please try again, and if it still doesn't work, could you please delete the browser cache/cookies or try using another browser? I just tried it on two different browsers and the discounts are shown correctly for all available licenses.
