File Search Assistant
Introducing File Search Assistant from AKS-Labs, the
all-in-one file search utility that allows you to quickly find exactly
the text you need, no matter what kind of file it’s in. Search for
plain text or special symbols, target exactly the folders you want,
filter your search by file size and date, and preview your results in
context. You can even index your files, analyze your disk usage, and
save your results, so your next search will be even faster..
- First, choose your search terms. You can search for one or more words, whole phrases, or use regular expressions, like “+cats +dogs” or “+cats -dogs”.
- Search for UNICODE text, or for special symbols like line breaks. Or, search for special characters by HEX code.
- Then, choose where you’d like to search. You can
search a single folder or a group of folders, on your hard drive or your
local network. Include or exclude individual folders from your
search. Even filter your search to find files of a particular size, or
files that were modified on a particular date.
- Search all kinds of files, regardless of format or encoding. Of
course you can search MS Office documents, like Word documents, Excel
spreadsheets, and Powerpoint presentations. But you can also find any
matching text in your OpenOffice documents, Adobe PDF documents, RTF
(Rich Text Format) documents, and in the text and metatags on your HTML
web pages. Search the tags on your images, videos, and multimedia
files, as well. Search password-protected documents. Even search files
inside WinZip and WinRAR archives.
- And Preview your results. File Search Assistant
doesn’t just show you a list of your matching files. It shows you a
preview of each of those files. You’ll see exactly where your keywords
were found. You’ll even see the surrounding text. You can preview one
file at a time, or preview all of your search results at once.
And File Search Assistant also includes several additional features.
- Index your files, to make your next search even faster.
Choose fixed indexing for files on your hard drive, or portable
indexing for files on a thumb drive. Choose dynamic re-indexing, to
update your index every time your file changes. Or, mix and match your
indexing options: choose fixed indexing with dynamic re-indexing for
files you use every day, or portable indexing without re-indexing for
files on a CD-ROM.
- Analyze your disk space, to use your computer more efficiently.
File Search Assistant can quickly spot the largest folders on your hard
drive, as well as any duplicate files. Then, you can delete or move
any files you don’t need.
