Atom Imp File Search

In the eventuality you were forced to search for a file on your computer using Windows Explorer, then we do not need to tell you more about how irritating going up and down the hierarchy of the folders can be. Not to mention that you are not able to save the searches or annotate them for that matter.

Atom Imp File Search is an application designed to help you find any type of file on your local drives quickly and easily using various filters.

In spite of the fact that it is not a looker, the interface is organized and intuitive, so you are unlikely to have issues performing a search. You should know that the program allows you to specify the location where to do the query and the larger the folder or drive, the longer the process takes.

The GUI consists of a section that enables you to specify the search criteria and two panels that can be useful for browsing through the various folders on your computer. While you can preview all the available directories on your computer, the app does not allow you to view the files within them.

The strong point of the utility comes from the numerous search filters you can employ to locate a distinct file as fast as possible. The application allows you to specify if you are trying to find text files, where the filename is case sensitive and if it should look for text file contents only for instance.

It is important to note that the tool performs the search only for the files that include the extensions listed in the Advanced options window. Then again, you will be happy to learn that you can add and remove extra extensions, if necessary. Moreover, you can restore the default extension list, as soon as you are done with your current query.

If you are looking for a solution that can help you locate a file that you misplaced on your local drive or that you are having troubles finding, then perhaps Atom Imp File Search could lend you a hand.
