Portable LAN Search Pro

This is the portable version of LAN Search Pro - a tool that allows you to seamlessly look for files on other computers connected via LAN.

Since this is a portable tool, LAN Search Pro does not come with a setup pack. It means that you can store the tool on a USB flash drive or similar external device, save it to any computer and directly run its executable file.

What's more important is that the Windows Registry is not updated with new entries and that no files are left behind on the hard drive after program removal. Moreover, you can have LAN Search Pro with you whenever you're on the go.

The interface of the application is clean and pretty intuitive. All you have to do is write the name or part of a name of a file, in order to initialize the scanning procedure.

In the list of results you can check out the name, location, size, date and time, along with the attributes of each entry. You can open them, copy or move them to another location, copy the file path, as well as place a shortcut on the desktop.

On top of that, you can save the results list to a DAT file, save profiles, create a batch file, export data to an HTM, XML or CSV file, as well as view a search log and working threads. But you can also manage passwords and use a search function, as well as configure options when it comes to the search results filters (set time and size range), target location (e.g. entire network, excluding some computers), hidden folders, and FTP.

The program has a good response time, includes a help file and quickly finishes a scan job while using a low amount of CPU and system memory. We have not come across any issues during our tests; LAN Search Pro did not freeze, crash or pop up error dialogs. Beginners can easily find their way around this tool, thanks to its intuitive layout and overall simplicity.
