Portable UltraSearch

Portable UltraSearch is a software utility, developed specifically to help people quickly find particular items on their hard drives, by searching directly on the Master File Table (MFT) of the NTFS partitions.

The simple interface enables you to scan for files by inputting a keyword and excluding certain locations. Results are displayed in the main window as a list, along with information such as name, path, size, last changed date and file type.

This app supports the use of regular expressions, absolute paths, wildcards (“*” or “?”) and double quotes for exact matching in the search pattern.

Values can be expressed in Bytes, KB, MB and GB, the date format can be changed and it is possible to sort according to name, path, size, last change and file type. You can include or exclude files and folders in the search and tweak the exclusion filters.

The utility can be launched with a customizable keyboard shortcut, it can be opened at Windows startup and minimized to the system tray.

With comprehensive and well-organized Help contents, a user-friendly interface, good response time and a fast method of searching for files, Portable UltraSearch proves to be an efficient piece of software and a good choice for any type of person.
