Skyperious allows you to search the database, as well as to create filters, in order to find the conversations or messages that you are looking for.

Skyperious can read information regarding the current database, indicating the number of stored conversations, contacts, file transfers, messages and the date of the most recent text. You may verify the file for corrupted areas or view the stored items as a data table.

The program can display time stamps for calls, messages, conversations, documents, videos, transfers or voice mails. Moreover, you can generate SQL queries, as well as import new contacts from CSV files. You may easily add contacts from MSN or Gmail, to your Skype name book.
