SSScanner is a full-text search tool which scans within files on your local, network, and CD-ROM drives looking for a given word or phrase. As SSScanner searches for your query, it shows the directory path to the files that match it most of all.

Subject Search Scanner uses intelligent method of Subject Search which matches your search phrase with the text being searched even if the corresponding text fragment and your search phrase are not exactly the same, some of the words are swapped, not present or spelling varies; searches are supported in any of 39 languages.

Subject Search Scanner provides each of its findings with a relevancy score shown as a percentage; this helps you to judge whether a particular file does or does not actually contain data of your interest. SSScanner processes files of any format, including text files, documents written under MS Word, HTML, PDF, RTF, HLP formats as well as binary or even executable ones!

What's New in This Release: [ read full changelog ]

· Apart from scanning files "on the fly", this release is also capable of indexing files into so-called, Virtual Folders. When you add documents to a Virtual Folder, SSScanner indexes them to allow your queries be performed much faster; the product maintains indexes between sessions.
· The product is shipped with new KT Text Filters for processing documents created with MS Office 2007 (DOCX, XLSX, and PPTX files), and also with an improved filter for the Adobe PDF files.
· Improved was the user interface -- SSScanner supports 43 built-in Visual Themes, which cover a wide range of user requirements and make your use of the product easy indeed.
· Added was the ability to search in archives. SSScanner automatically recognizes and scan files within multiple sorts of archives, namely, processed are 7Z, ARJ, BZ2, BZIP2, CAB, GZ, GZIP, JAR, RAR, TAR (either directly or within enclosing .GZ archives), TAZ, TBZ, TBZ2, TGZ, TPZ, XPI, Z, and of course, the product can scan files within popular ZIP files, too.
· Furthermore, SSScanner is capable of processing files within nested archives! For example, if amongst regular files, the archive "Archive1.ZIP" also contains the file "Archive2.ARJ", which in turn, contains one more archive "Archive3.RAR", then files from "Archive3.RAR" (the "deepest" one) will be scanned as well; nested archives are processed in any combination and at any depth! Not to delay your searches, by default, the product processes enclosed .GZ, .TAR, .RAR, and .ZIP archives only; read the SSScanner Frequently Asked Questions page for information how to tune the product to make it process other types of nested archives.
· The ability to search in your personal e-mail messages and folders has been improved. Even though searches in MS Outlook Express and other e-mail clients have been accelerated (even considerably when you specify the message subject or/and date frames), still recommended is Microsoft Outlook from the Microsoft Office suite of products. Working with this product, SSScanner provides the highest possible performance. Also, beginning from Microsoft Outlook 2003, SSScanner supports searching in messages written under any encoding tables, and in virtually any human languages.
· Integration of SSScanner with Subject Search Pad and Subject Search Summarizer has been improved as well: in particular, SSScanner provides SSSummarizer with Unicode data only even under Windows 98 and Millennium Edition.
· User can now easily copy files found by SSScanner either by dropping them onto a desired window or, by copying selected files to the Clipboard with subsequent pasting them into the Windows Explorer, Internet Explorer or any other applications, browsers and text processors, which accept file dragging or pasting operations. Also, you may create copies of files found by SSScanner directly in the product by selecting a desired folder and using a new built-in file/item copying functionality.
· When you instruct SSScanner to copy files from archives or e-mail messages from message stores, SSScanner automatically extracts corresponding files (from nested archives, too!) thus working as an archive decompression utility.
· Improved was International support as well: the product automatically recognizes encoding pages of documents it scans wherever possible, automatically selects an appropriate keyboard input language among those installed on your machine.
· Added was the ability to save your searches. Using this new feature, you may group files that match a particular criteria, then restore them with a single click of mouse button. Unlike Windows Vista, SSScanner saves not only your search criteria, but also the entire list of files selected; when you restore search results (for example, by pressing R), you may perform subsequent searches in the collection of files that appear in view after restoring.
· When SSScanner functions under Windows Vista, it places a small box for entering queries in the right upper corner of every window of Windows Explorer that appears. After pressing , SSScanner immediately starts searching for your search phrase right in the folder that is currently open in Windows Explorer
· In addition to the above improvements, the user is given one more "Literal Search" option
