AnyTXT Searcher

If you are that type of user tired of manual digging for files through multiple hard drives, and the windows search function isn’t very helpful, AnyTXT Searcher can take some of the edge off. This application can find any file that corresponds to the text your search after, no matter the file’s format.

The UI comes as a huge preview panel with a couple of options that completes the picture. Of course, there will be no app without the search field that resides atop the preview tab, where you will input your items.

Regarding the toolbar, there are not too many tools on it, several hotkey actions and the index manager that shows you how many files of the same format was found upon your search results.

To start a search, write down at least a part of the file you are looking for. The file has to contain the exact word you have used, in order to be listed in the preview tab. You can start a process by hitting Enter on your keyboard or by clicking on the “Go” button.

AnyTXT Searcher can dig through several formats for your files. For example, the list can contain plain text formats (TXT, CPP, HTML), Microsoft Office formats (DOC, XLS, PPT, etc.) portable document format (PDF) and more.

If you have more than one drive, you can choose which one to search in, or you can cover them all. To specify you drive, click on the combo menu next to the search field. Same goes for file formats, pick one or more and execute your search based on your choices.

AnyTXT Searcher is a neat tool that works as a local Google and it can detect and list all your files by a simple text search. It’s intuitive and straightforward process won’t cause operational issues no matter your technical skills.
