New in SwiftSearch 7.1 (Jun 5, 2018)

  • File types shown, minor bug fixed, performance improved for some common path queries

New in SwiftSearch 7.0 (May 18, 2018)

  • Can crash on NTFS volumes with small clusters (cluster size < file record size) if the MFT becomes
  • fragmented and causes a file record to become split up into non-adjacent clusters on the disk.
  • In practice, this usually only happens if the cluster size is 512 bytes (as file records are usually 1024 bytes).
  • This will hopefully be fixed at some point, but it is low-priority.
  • In the meantime, a workaround is to defragment your MFT to make sure no file records are split up.

New in SwiftSearch 6.4 (May 7, 2018)

  • Faster sorting
  • Regex lookaheads (?=...) were broken. Fixed
  • CTRL/SHIFT/ALT enable additional features (see Help menu):
  • Hold CTRL to auto-size columns when resizing window
  • Hold SHIFT for breadth-first searching & sorting
  • Hold ALT when sorting by "size on disk" to find "bulky" files/folders
  • Some of these partially worked on previous versions!
  • Icon cache now cleared on F5
  • Icon cache size is now bounded
  • More internationalization
  • Trade-offs:
  • Sorting now requires somewhat more memory
  • Known issues:
  • Some strings (especially menus) are still English-only

New in SwiftSearch 6.3 (Apr 23, 2018)

  • Table dumping performance has been significantly improved.
  • I/O prioritization was broken and is now fixed. You shouldn't have to wait for other drives to be indexed before the current one.(Only on Windows Vista and later.)
  • Multilingual user interface (MUI) file support has been added. Seamless translations are now possible by placing an associated MUI file in your locale directory.
  • For example, for English (United States), create an appropriate en-SSwiftSearch.exe.mui file inside the same directory as the executable, and the program will load it automatically.

New in SwiftSearch 6.2.3 (Apr 22, 2018)

  • Fix bug in save dialog resulting from internationalization support. Also, somewhat of a speedup in table dumping.

New in SwiftSearch 6.2.2 (Apr 22, 2018)

New in SwiftSearch 4.0 (Jan 27, 2015)

  • This version contains a complete rewrite of this application. It should exhibit significantly lower memory usage and work at a slightly faster speed.
