Have you ever been in a hurry to find a file? Ten minutes minutes before the meeting and you need to find the video clip you were going to show. If you use Windows, you would pull up Windows search, type in the title, and wait for it to search through all the files on your computer. Depending on how many files that you have, this may take quite a while.
There is a small, powerful alternative to Windows Search that will find what you are looking for in a matter of minutes. It is called Everything. This program is less than 400 kilobytes in size. It installs quickly and indexes you computer in a matter on minutes. Whenever you create an new file, the index is complete. It works on Windows 2000, XP, 2003, Vista, 2008 and 7. (Since Vista and 7 have an improved search function build into the Start Menu, it is ideal for any pre-Vista Windows OS.
One of the drawbacks of Everything is that it only searches the file and folder names, not their contents. But if you remember a little bit of the title, you can probably find it.
So, go ahead and use this tool. You can download Everything here: http://www.voidtools.com/.
