What's New in This Release:

· Optimization: Faster indexing of large numbers of files and files with large amounts of Text Index data. (due to: Optimized for speed over speed; Decreased default max text index filesize to 8MB or 4MB, etc)
· Feature: Greatly Improved searching: Results are now ranked by relevance (before, results were ranked by a raw score which produced noticeably inferior results)
· Feature: Added a new Simple search mode which is a lot friendlier for novice users.
· Feature: During installation, Folder-Indexing shell integration is now enabled (i.e. in windows Explorer, Right-click a folder and select [Mo-Search 2.7 Reindex] to reindex that folder and all children folders)
· Feature: Within edit boxes (i.e in the FileViewer) the [Home] key now moves the caret to the first character; the [End] key now moves the caret to the last character.
· Feature: Mo-Search main dialog, in the [Path], [Text], and [Filename] combo boxes: items are now delete-able by dropping the list, selecting an item and pressing the delete key (i.e. similar behavior to url address combobox in FireFox)
· Feature: Help->Submit Feedback. Please use this to submit your feedback back to us!
· Feature: Help->Application Release History. Use this to see what has changed since the last release, or between different releases.
· Feature: When Text Searching, you can now search by extension and/or omit my extension (i.e. [.doc Procedure] finds all .doc files with text Procedure, [-.doc Procedure] finds all non .doc files with text Procedure)
· Feature: FileViewer, select some text and right-click it to Google it. (Handy every now and then)
· Bug: Indexing a large file could have caused Indexing to stall (hang) during stage 3. (increased size of file hash buffer by 50%)
· Bug: Previously on Vista, folder-indexing shell integration could not be enabled when Windows UAC was enabled. This is fixed by having the installer (which runs with elevated permissions) write the registry key.
· Bug: Some developer content within development (source code) files was *not* indexed when it should have been (i.e. functions to the right of the . operator). Now, this content is indexed.
· Bug: When a token is too long (> 48 characters), further processing is now attempted to break the word into processable chunks (Before the whole word was discarded from your index)
· Bug: Previously, attempts to index two different folders at the same time (using two different application instances) lead to database locking issues and cryptic error messages. Now, Mo-Search limits indexing to one application instance at a time.
· Bug: Source code variables are now searchable when prefixed with a leading @ symbol. (previously, this symbol was stripped off of words)
· Bug: Application settings stored in the registry are isolated by the minor version, ie. 2.7.1 (Previously, all installed versions of Mo-Search shared these same settings which lead to odd application errors).
· Bug: When multiple versions of Mo-Search are installed (Side-by-side), Mo-Search periodically could not find the database when launched. (Due to above bug)
· Bug: When multiple versions of Mo-Search are installed (Side-by-side), executing Mo-Search from the shell (Windows Explorer) may result in an error about incompatible databases (very long standing bug)
· Bug: Search Stemming may appear enabled when it is actually disabled (very long standing bug)
· Cleanup: FileViewer: when no viewer exists for the selected file type, the footer no longer reads: (Loaded on 0.00) This really did not make sense, because nothing loaded.
· Cleanup: FileViewer navigation buttons (Next Word, Prev Word, Next File, Prev File) have been grouped together to increase user productivity.
· Cleanup: Fewer noisy files should be written into your index. This is accomplished by reducing the default max Text Index Filesize to 4096 for indexers [Text: Source Code] and [Text: Normal] (These two indexers typically generate the most noise)
· Cleanup: Image Exif information is no displayed by default. After surveying User feedback, most users considered this exif information purely noise. If you still want it, simply enable it in Options->More...->General->When loading image files, show EXIF information when available.
· Misc: Other small GUI cleanups, bug fixes, tweaks and optimizations... [ read full changelog ]
