Mo-Search Changelog

What's new in Mo-Search 6.0.7

Aug 2, 2016

Faster, Smaller & More Features:
AutoSearch: Instantly search as you type!
AutoComplete: Instantly shows search terms as you type, using all Words/Files/Paths.
DataDedup: Realtime data De-Duplication during indexing, for improved Search & Indexing speed.
DataSharding: Auto Partition data across multiple indexes, for increased scalability & performance.
Scalability: 3-times improvement over version 5.x (Max Index=12GB, Max Files: 2 Billion)
Supports: Window Xp/Server 2003 through Windows 10/Server 2016.

New in Mo-Search 6.0.6 (Feb 20, 2016)

Optimization Lower-overhead/faster AutoIndexer due to redesigned PathManager (Reworked Omit/Noise folder calculation, GetParentFolder heuristic, Path/File splitting, SystemVolume change ignore, simplified/consolidated maps, map 2x larger)
Feature Enhanced #NoDups search operator (2nd iteration) now properly works for *any* given query/combination of search filters. Previously for many query combinations, #NoDups resulted in files missing from search results (required newly developed zTemp Tables, since SQLCE did not provide the required performance here).
Feature New search operator #PathTooLong, which shows files having paths too long.
Feature Save/Load dialog size + position for Tool dialogs: FileAnalyzer, FileDuplicates, FileTypes, and Whois.
Feature By default TextIndex .properties files using the Text indexer.
Feature When user right-clicks a folder in Windows Explore (or 3rd party Windows Explorer replacement) that is not an include path, allow the user to add this path (and do so before bringing Indexing dialog to the foreground)
Bug In AutoComplete boxes you may have encountered the "The parameter is incorrect" dialog. (6.x issue: new AutoComplete feature)
Bug In Search results list, only part of the matched Path and/or File highlighted. (6.x issue: new Results Highlight feature)
Bug When indexing/reindexing, a Path+File longer than MAX_PATH (260 characters) may have caused a crash. (longstanding: all versions)
Bug When indexing/reindexing, Paths were sometimes considered Includes, when they were actually Noise/Omit. This resulted in both index bloat and decreased performance. (longstanding: all versions)
Bug When indexing/reindexing a single drive, files weren't correctly counted. This resulted in the wrong count of files to index, and thus an incorrect time-remaining calculation. (6.x issue: New multithreaded counter)
Bug In FileAnalyzer, Files added with the [Add] button sometimes were not added. (6.x issue: new FileAnalyzer tool)
Bug In ResultsList, Filename not highlighted when it is a match for Text search terms. (6.x issue: new Results List highlighting feature)
Bug In ResultsList, at times only part of the matching text was highlighted. (6.x issue)
Bug In Search UI, Path AutoComplete list failed to show the most relevant paths. (6.x issue: new Autocomplete feature)
Bug In Search UI, Hang in AutoComplete due to logging race condition. (6.x issue: new AutoComplete feature)
Bug In Search UI, Small memory leak in AutoComplete lists. (6.x issue: new Autocomplete feature)
Bug In IndexWords Dialog, if AppDiag was not enabled the group box drew ghosted when it should not have been visible. (6.x issue: new IndexWords dialog)
Bug In Option, Crash when adding many extensions at the same time (e.g. [.xxx .yyy .zzz etc..]) into Options > More... > Text Index > Advanced > Add. (6.x regression)
Bug In ProgressDialog setting topmost showed the Progressbar when it should not have been visible. (6.x issue: new TopMost feature)
Bug General, Crash in screens like TextIndex > Advanced, where rows are loaded... and then *more* rows are loaded as the user add items. (6.x issue)
Cleanup Search ModifiedDate filters, when not enabled display as empty [ ] instead of empty with slashes [ / / ]. This streamlines control UI state recognition - easier to see when enabled.
Cleanup In ProgressDialog, font and background headers have been tweaked to be more visually appealing.
Cleanup FileViewer: In FindInFile field don't show dropdown when there are no matches. (Before - user typing within built-in FindInFile resulted in an empty drop box obscuring a chunk of FileViewer)
Cleanup Revised button theme - replaced garish blue with more a subdued silver.
Cleanup Index words dialogs - consolidated a bunch of Statics controls into one single line-wrapping Edit control. Now complete info can be easily seen, scrolled, and copied.
Cleanup Auto-omit SYSTEM.SAVE path, during Installation and in Options > Index > Defaults. (e.g. AutoDetect Paths)
Cleanup Quote'd Search (deep search) now searches files by Alphabetical order of Path. (previously, ordered by path-length which was seemingly random - not a good UX)
Cleanup Search screen draw tweaks (re-position logo upon screen widen/maximize, don't ghost controls after Options, case detect+fix in Path AutoComplete.
Cleanup Reduced log noise for AutoWord_SearchText when AppDiag is enabled. (now only log when query duration greater than 0 milliseconds)
Cleanup When Path filter is specified generate SQL consistently employs inner join. (previous a mash of equa-joins and inner-joins)
Diag During indexing, when cleaning paths show the number of files cleaned at the each path within the log.

New in Mo-Search 6.0.5 Beta (Feb 20, 2016)

Optimization Faster Searching due to Asynchronous Index init, re-worked re-association tables+logic (up to 3x faster), reduced word duplication, enhanced query plans.
Optimization Faster Cleaning stage when indexing (up to 10x faster - stage was doing *much* unnecessary work).
Optimization Faster Options.Statistics loading (moved slow/intricate calculations into tail of indexing).
Optimization Faster Indexing: Inclusion of underscore in word, Faster counting (4 threads), Optimized UriDistinct insert, deferred index creation (Uri.Indexed, Uri.Modified).
Feature FileViewer: Redesigned search match highlighting (much more like Chrome, and much less ugly) using yellow background instead of a blue underline squiggly.
Feature Results List: New Search match highlighting (like Chrome) using yellow background. Previously matches were not highlighted in the files list.
Feature All List controls: type to search (handy to find a row/column with specific text), and F3 to find next.

Feature By default these extensions are now included: .jar .xlw .xla
Feature Added shortcut to FileAnalyzer in Start menu.
Feature FileViewer Ctrl-F: FindInFile improvements, in-part to make behavior more similar to Notepad++.
► Selecting text and pressing ctrl-f places the selected in the find Edit and auto-FindInFile.
► If FindInFile toolbar is open, just selecting new text (3+ characters) will auto-FindInFile that new text. To undo press F3/Alt-F3 (this reverts FindInFile to your edit text).
Feature FileViewer new binocular tool: Word Frequency.
Feature Indexing, Added underscore (_) as word token (speeds re-association, and greatly improves searching within source code).
Feature Indexing, Increased max word length from 40 characters to 48.
Feature ProgressDialog new Topmost-Minify mode (pins topmost and moves out of the way).
Feature ProgressDialog shows number of files counted, (during counting phase), total indexed (plus Added, Modified and Removed counts).
Feature If Notepad++ is installed, use that in place of Windows Notepad.
Feature Options.Sys new FileAnalyzer checkbox (to enable/disable FileAnalyzer in Windows Explorer), so a folder can be right-clicked to quickly Analyze contained log files.
Feature Options.Index show bus type (SATA, SCSI, USB, Fibre, etc).
Feature Options.TextIndex.Advanced, warning displays associated Indexer is does not work well with AutoIndexer (Deprecated *Legacy* COM-based indexers: Microsoft Excel, Microsoft PowerPoint, Microsoft Word, Adobe PDF).
Bug Incorrect tokenizing resulted in words too long being excluded from the index. Now we always use 48 leftmost characters when a word is too long (longstanding).
Bug Crash when indexing PDF file via Meauxsoft PDF indexer (longstanding, sorry Jean).
Bug Incorrect work breaking in Meauxsoft PDF, resulted in some words not getting indexed (longstanding).
Bug Newly added files were not added into re-association cache (Uri.Indexed + redesigned cache).

Cleanup Privacy Policy is now stated in the AboutBox.
Cleanup In ExamineFileIndex dialog, removed debugging placeholder: _file here_
Note to Debug a indexing crash, this registry setting can be enabled (and will log start+complete for each file. The last file missing a complete... caused the crash).
1) Go to this registry key: [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\MeauxSoft\Mo-Search6.0\App Settings]
2) And create this DWORD registry entry: [LogFilenames], and set a value of [1]
3) Re-run the install (or re-indexing)

New in Mo-Search 5.6.1 (Feb 20, 2016)

Feature Fileviewer integrated Find (F3, Ctrl-f) simplifies finding specific words in a document and underlines matching words as your type. Makes find-in-file more fluid! (finally)
Feature During SQLCE Compact, progress bar with estimated time remaining, more thorough Compaction, and increased cancel button responsiveness.
Feature When full path\file is pasted into Search path or file, the path and file are auto-split into appropriate search boxes upon searching.
Feature Paste and explore a folder via the Search path combo, then Explore [//] button
Feature Added [Sort Lines Alphabetical] to FileViewer, which sorts the current file's lines alphabetical.
Feature Exploration, research and foundation tests for *possible* future support SQL 2014+ Hekaton (e.g. IsHekatonEnabled) But... currently not supported because performance in Mo-Search workflows don't increase enough, and much more RAM is needed.
Feature When searching purely by Filename and/or Path (e.g. search does not include Text), your results are now ranked too
Feature FileAnalyzer can now be launched from the command line
Feature FileAnalyzer is now hooked into the AboutDialog, for 1 button-click analysis of Mo-Search log files
Feature Now F3 (find next) and Ctrl-f (open Find dialog) work in FileViewer even when focus is on other controls, such as the results List.
Feature Explore mode, right-click on Computer now displays common Window actions such as: Display (adjust Display properties), Network (view Network), Power, System, User.
Feature Improved tokenizing + searching of files and paths (using same logic that word breaks in Search fields)
Feature Search browse-to and Explore browse-to both provide a list of context sensitive destination folders (selected file in FileViewer, selected folder in Search path, and selected folder in Explore tree).
Feature Improved indexing of mapped network drives - when mapped drive is offline, attempt to bring online and if not possible we gracefully skip that drive. Previously files on that drive were likely removed from the index. (longstanding)
Feature Explore mode, improved exploring + viewing of files on mapped network drives - when mapped drive is offline, we try to bring online and if not possible show an informative message in FileViewer (longstanding)
Feature Improved detection of mapped network drives during installation (and Set Defaults) - when mapped drive is offline, we try to bring online (longstanding)
Feature Logging of mapped drive detection details (diag)
Feature FileChangeLogging (fcl), configured via registry to see what files are changing, and how often during manual reindex
Feature Fcl log when deleting Paths (and remove path from maps)
Feature Default inclusion of .css full text files (longstanding - previously set as a noise file by default)
Feature Default inclusion of .rtf full text files, since iFilter does a much better job than it did back in 2007 when it excluded as a noise file.
Feature AutoIndexer, improved UI layout and new buttons: Indexed words list, Explore file/folder, Properties for file/folder, AutoScroll enable/disable. Also consolidated minimize + hide buttons into a single minimize button.
Feature AutoIndexer, Right-click on indexed file for shell right-click menu (previous versions had a small list of Mo-Search action, and no shell actions)
Feature FileDuplicates, increased max number of duplicates-per-file from about 500 to about 2000 (that is 2000 files all exactly matching each other)
Bug Upper/lower case is preserved for indexed filenames and paths (longstanding issue!)
Bug The Text Indexer could experience an uncaught exception resulting in that indexer going offline. Until the application (or AutoIndexer) was restarted no further files could be opened with the Text Indexer (rare + regression in 5.5.0)
Bug Explore mode, Open Containing folder now properly launches Windows Explorer on that folder (since 4.x: upon click... nothing would happen)
Bug Query diagnostics window fix: When [Show Diagnostics] is enabled: switching through modes [Search], [Explore], [Search] caused the query diagnostics window to disappear (common)
Bug Search FileType filter drop down caused wrong Relevance to show (rare + 5.5.0 regression)
Bug Searching for wildcards caused Relevance to not display (common + 5.5.0 regression)
Bug When [Search Acceleration] was enabled: cache-miss may have resulted in no Search results (rare + 5.5.0 regression). Now instead of failing, single-rows are loaded on-demand into cache.
Bug Memory leak when search failed (rare + longstanding)
Bug FindDuplicates tool: the [Export Results] button didn't reposition when the screen was resized/maximized resulting in the button becoming hidden (common + since button added in 5.5.0)
Bug Search Browse-to button would not expand the destination folder when it didn't contain children folders (longstanding)
Bug If a deleted, moved or renamed file was cached, an invalid ID may be referenced in a search, resulting in the search failing (rare + regression in 5.5.0)
Bug AutoIndex, only show one exit confirmation dialog (longstanding, could have multiple - once for each user exit click from system tray)
Bug Fileviewer, Under certain conditions the yellow footer (partial text loaded...) may display when the full text successfully loaded (regression in 5.5.0)
Bug Fileviewer, When a file fails to load and error text displays details, clicking in the FileViewer caused error text to disappear (longstanding)
Bug Search: when [Search Acceleration] is enabled, filtering by extension may lead to "Error [Open: ...]"
Bug Explore mode: selecting a file and pressing [Indexed Words List..] button, no words were listed. (longstanding)
Cleanup Fileviewer, improved vertical screen centering on text in find next/previous.
Cleanup FileAnalyzer now rolls up all Files frequency analysis to the top of the report (previously you had to scroll to the very bottom, which was cumbersome for large reports)
Cleanup Removed tooltip for unsupported Search Text operator [-]
Cleanup Query diagnostics window fix: Larger size to more easily view diagnostics text
Cleanup [Search Cache] renamed to [Search Acceleration] as to enable/disable 5.5.x Caching plus 5.6.x search acceleration optimizations.
Cleanup Standardized partial-loading message text across different file types and Indexers.
Cleanup Consolidated About box into Options dialog, which makes navigating between About and other Options screen much more fluid.
Cleanup Searches for 1-letter words has always been ignored, but now the search UI tells you the word was ignored (all previous versions ignored these, but you weren't informed)
Cleanup Progress Dialog displays a simplified overall estimate (e.g. if Minutes remain, then estimated Seconds are not shown). This decreases time remaining estimate wandering.
Cleanup In various places files Size now display in TB when appropriate
Cleanup Increased maximum upper limit of files returned in a search from 20k to 40k (default is still 5k)
Cleanup Reduced logging when updating statistics does not do any actual work.
Cleanup Don't full text index contents of tlog files, as these are often noise and change often (visual studio build log file type)
Cleanup Don't full text index contents of xlt files, as these can be noise, and not strictly used by Excel.
Cleanup Consolidated logic between search UI and AutoIndexer engine, to both use the same logic for Omit Folders. (more consistency between search UI + autoIndexer engine)
Cleanup By default exclude Synology recycling bin (#Recycle)
Cleanup When Search returns files with all the same score, files are sorted by location
Cleanup Reduced screen draw flashing when launching Reindex from menu bar (Tools > Reindex) on search screen (moved index lock acquisition into search screen)
Cleanup Slightly tweaked buttons appearance (general blue theme, and increased shadowing for sticky/checkbox buttons)
Cleanup Smaller tweaks, typos, misspellings, removed dead code, bugs and optimizations
Optimization Faster indexing during initial index build (ModN), plus when adding many files into an existing index (approx 10% faster than 5.5.0)
Optimization AutoIndexer: Efficiently handle File and Folder renames (e.g. rename row(s) in Db, plus update/invalidate caches)
Optimization AutoIndexer automatically updates stale SQLCE database statistics hourly (previously only done upon manual re-index) and displays details in the AutoIndexer History list.
Optimization Faster searching of some wildcards due to QueryPlan accommodating double the number of PlanIDs.
Optimization Faster folder navigation in Explore mode.
Optimization Faster file extension searching when [Search Acceleration] is enabled: Expensive URI table scans converted into ExtID lookup QueryPlans, which are faster on most extensions (note: Very un-selective/common extensions may results in slightly lower performance - to address in future release)
Optimization When [Search Acceleration] was enabled: cache-miss resulted in slow search (5.5.0 regression, rare).
Optimization Slighter faster word breaking by removing unneeded slow code, resulting is faster indexing/file parsing.
Optimization Explore mode now navigates files/folder faster (optimized compression/encryption checking)
Optimization Slightly faster internal string sorting (less branching)
Optimization Slightly faster indexing into SQL Server engine (new stored procedures)
Optimization AutoIndexer, more small performance increases.
Optimization FileDuplicates up to 2x faster scanning in Binary Compare Engine

optimization: Faster searching: Reworked ListCtrl loading logic to bare metal (avoid shared _InsertRow_Fast logic)
optimization: Faster searching: Added CCacheMgr which speeds Search query by often omitting slow URI join (file Metadata)
optimization: Slightly smoother results list loading, and scrolling due to redraw double-buffering (Win API)
optimization: Slightly smaller and faster index, as underscore (_) and hyphen (-) are no longer word characters (resulting in fewer keywords, and fewer word counts record).

Optimization: Faster indexing as database statistics (e.g. Options>Statistics) are now gathered when needed (IndexInfo.LastStatsGather, IndexInfo.LastIndexChange)
Optimization: Faster FindDuplicateFiles tool (revised logic)
Optimization: Improved List performance (e.g. ListCtrl replaced heavyweight MRegUIntArray with lightweight plus a single reg entry m_uiCols_Width_User)

New in Mo-Search 2.7.1 (Sep 25, 2007)

Optimization: Faster indexing of large numbers of files and files with large amounts of Text Index data. (due to: Optimized for speed over speed; Decreased default max text index filesize to 8MB or 4MB, etc)
Feature: Greatly Improved searching: Results are now ranked by relevance (before, results were ranked by a raw score which produced noticeably inferior results)
Feature: Added a new Simple search mode which is a lot friendlier for novice users.
Feature: During installation, Folder-Indexing shell integration is now enabled (i.e. in windows Explorer, Right-click a folder and select [Mo-Search 2.7 Reindex] to reindex that folder and all children folders)
Feature: Within edit boxes (i.e in the FileViewer) the [Home] key now moves the caret to the first character; the [End] key now moves the caret to the last character.
Feature: Mo-Search main dialog, in the [Path], [Text], and [Filename] combo boxes: items are now delete-able by dropping the list, selecting an item and pressing the delete key (i.e. similar behavior to url address combobox in FireFox)
Feature: Help->Submit Feedback. Please use this to submit your feedback back to us!
Feature: Help->Application Release History. Use this to see what has changed since the last release, or between different releases.
Feature: When Text Searching, you can now search by extension and/or omit my extension (i.e. [.doc Procedure] finds all .doc files with text Procedure, [-.doc Procedure] finds all non .doc files with text Procedure)
Feature: FileViewer, select some text and right-click it to Google it. (Handy every now and then)
Bug: Indexing a large file could have caused Indexing to stall (hang) during stage 3. (increased size of file hash buffer by 50%)
Bug: Previously on Vista, folder-indexing shell integration could not be enabled when Windows UAC was enabled. This is fixed by having the installer (which runs with elevated permissions) write the registry key.
Bug: Some developer content within development (source code) files was *not* indexed when it should have been (i.e. functions to the right of the . operator). Now, this content is indexed.
Bug: When a token is too long (> 48 characters), further processing is now attempted to break the word into processable chunks (Before the whole word was discarded from your index)
Bug: Previously, attempts to index two different folders at the same time (using two different application instances) lead to database locking issues and cryptic error messages. Now, Mo-Search limits indexing to one application instance at a time.
Bug: Source code variables are now searchable when prefixed with a leading @ symbol. (previously, this symbol was stripped off of words)
Bug: Application settings stored in the registry are isolated by the minor version, ie. 2.7.1 (Previously, all installed versions of Mo-Search shared these same settings which lead to odd application errors).
Bug: When multiple versions of Mo-Search are installed (Side-by-side), Mo-Search periodically could not find the database when launched. (Due to above bug)
Bug: When multiple versions of Mo-Search are installed (Side-by-side), executing Mo-Search from the shell (Windows Explorer) may result in an error about incompatible databases (very long standing bug)
Bug: Search Stemming may appear enabled when it is actually disabled (very long standing bug)
Cleanup: FileViewer: when no viewer exists for the selected file type, the footer no longer reads: (Loaded on 0.00) This really did not make sense, because nothing loaded.
Cleanup: FileViewer navigation buttons (Next Word, Prev Word, Next File, Prev File) have been grouped together to increase user productivity.
Cleanup: Fewer noisy files should be written into your index. This is accomplished by reducing the default max Text Index Filesize to 4096 for indexers [Text: Source Code] and [Text: Normal] (These two indexers typically generate the most noise)
Cleanup: Image Exif information is no displayed by default. After surveying User feedback, most users considered this exif information purely noise. If you still want it, simply enable it in Options->More...->General->When loading image files, show EXIF information when available.
Misc: Other small GUI cleanups, bug fixes, tweaks and optimizations

New in Mo-Search 2.7.0 Beta (Jun 9, 2007)

Optimization: Better performance on multi-core processors (doubled the number of Jet threads)
Optimization: Faster indexing performance (in part due to LockAccessDb)
Bug: FileViewer, Find dialog: Searching with [Match whole word only] often skipped valid matches (long standing bug - sorry about that)

Bug: Installer - Application is now patchable when it is installed to a non-default path.
Bug: Installer - multi-instance support, a patch may now be applied to more than one installation of the same version.
Bug: Indexing may have generated error: [File sharing lock count exceeded. Increase MaxLocksPerFile registry entry] (long standing bug - sorry about that)
Bug: When indexing a file with very many distinct words (> 80,000), Mo-Search appeared hang. This occurred when MaxLocksPerFile was exceeded. (MSDN ref: Q209940)
Bug: Several screens had multiple default buttons - this resulted in strange behavior when your mouse is configured to Snap To default buttons.
Bug: Some screens had mal-adjusted tab orders which caused issues when tabbing between controls.
Bug: Within the Help About dialog, pressing the [x] launched [System Info] instead of closing the Help About dialog.
Bug: When the Max Text Index size is decreased (Options.Text Index.Advanced), files now too-large files are un-Text Indexed during next Reindex (very long standing bug)
Bug: Options.Text Index.Advanced.Add: After adding an extension it is now selected in the list (Before: the extension was only selected under certain conditions - long standing bug)
Bug: When various dialogs were visible, Mo-Search would disappear from the taskbar (pesky resource setting: WS_EX_APPWINDOW)
Bug: Options.Statstics.Full-Text Files size was incorrect.
Bug: Options.Index.Paths.Count was incorrect when one or more paths were deleted.
Bug: Installer, Fixed very rare condition where the application won't install (or patch) due to Mutex name conflict.
Bug: Installer, If an older version (2.5) was installed more recently than a newer version (2.7), the newer version was not patch-able (bug exists in all previous versions).
Feature: Binary: Executable indexer provides Full Text searching within executable file types such as .exe, .dll, ocx, etc (experimental feature: These file types can quickly grow your index)

Feature: Added file type .ora, .img to search domain [Oracle]
Feature: Added new major Text Index extension: .frm (Visual Basic)
Feature: New default search Domain [Microsoft SQL Server], which contains files .mdf, .ldf, .bak
Feature: FileViewer: F3 now finds the next occurrence, and Ctrl-F3 finds the previous occurrence.
Feature: FileViewer: F3 and Ctrl-F3 auto-detect context of Next/Prev buttons or the [Find Text] dialog
Feature: FileViewer [Next File] and [Previous File] buttons
Feature: FileViewer button [Word Count..], which counts the file's: Words, Characters, Lines, Data Size, and Average Line Length.
Feature: FileViewer button [Indexed Words List..], which shows the occurrence count for all words in the selected file's index.
Feature: New table: FileIndex, which tracks each file's: IndexStatus, IndexModified date, IndexCreated date, IndexDurationPerKbTextData (in Milliseconds), IndexDurationPerKbFileSize
Feature: Options.Statistics.[Computer CPUs] now detects the number of installed cores. This permits more cores to be used for processor intensive activities such as Indexing and Searching.
Feature: Options.Text Index.[Advanced] added capability to specify a file's [Indexer] and the [Max TextIndex Size]. (*Much* needed advanced features! Sorry this took so long)
Feature: FindFileTypes, added an internet search button which opens a web-based (Google) search on the selected File Type.
Feature: FindFileTypes, added a computer search button which opens a new Mo-Search on the selected File Type.
Feature: FindFileTypes, Extensions list: added right-click functionality for Internet and computer searches.
Cleanup: Smaller database size due to inclusion of more noise words (i.e. if 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0)
Cleanup: Smaller database size due to reduction of default Max Fti size from 30MB to 10MB (10,240 KB)
Cleanup: Removed Default Full-Text extension type: [.csv] This should help keep the index smaller, speed up indexing and speed up searches. If you need to Text-Search [.csv] simply add it under: Options->Text Index->Advanced.
Cleanup: When Installing or Patching, the user no longer needs to Check [I accept the terms of the license agreement] - This streamlines Installation and Patching (and is much less irritating)
Cleanup: Removed noise extensions: .tnsnames, .tsnnames
Cleanup: Added default Omit Folder [i386] - this may grealy reduces the size of your index by preventing lots of irrelevant noise from being indexed.
Cleanup: Increased the maximum number of items in Drop Lists from 200 to 300
Cleanup: Improved diagnostics (tables: ErrorLog, ErrorType, FileIndex, LockAccessDb)
Misc: Renamed diagnostics file from [Errors_Index.txt] to [Diagnostics_Index.txt] (Thanks Terry!)
Misc: Updated installer (NSIS) from 2.17 to 2.27 (thanks NSIS team!)
