FileSeek Pro

Windows comes with its own search tool that allows you to find files, folders and other resources on your computer. However, there are third-party applications that are more powerful and much more versatile than the search box of Windows. Let’s take, for instance, FileSeek Pro, a simple, yet handy application that can conduct several search tasks from within the same window.

FileSeek Pro features a tab-based interface that allows you to carry out multiple search tasks simultaneously. By default, it performs the search on all the available drives, but you can also specify multiple target location separated by “|” or simply exclude the paths that you want it to leave out.

There are also other filtering options in FileSeek Pro, allowing you to include or exclude certain types of files. Regular expressions and text queries are supported, which makes the application even more versatile.

The “Advanced” tab hosts additional search filters and criteria. For instance, you can run case-sensitive queries and match the search query to the entire file or each line within the file. The file contents can be optionally processed using File Handlers but this approach is, obviously, a bit slower. The list of File Handlers can be viewed in the Settings window.

You can also configure FileSeek Pro to show a specific number of lines before displaying the search result. There are also date filters in FileSeek Pro, allowing you to add even more search conditions that include the creation date or the dates the file has been modified or accessed. Moreover, you can set file size filters for the minimum and the maximum sizes.

All your searches and configurations can be saved and used at a later date thanks to the search profiles. FileSeek Pro also features a wide range of options for handling errors, a maximum search time, as well as options to customize the search results viewer.

FileSeek Pro has a good response time and can conduct multiple searches at the same time. The layout is intuitive and the generous array of filtering options make it a reliable file search tool fit for all computer users.
