![]() ![]() All matches in the files are highlighted in yellow, and you can also filter the results by file size, file type and location. ![]() ![]() According to the tool’s developer, DocFetcher is the Google of your files. Chiefcrowe mentioned there's a service but I'm not seeing any problems doing it the way I have, just leaving it running. DocFetcher is an open-source desktop search tool for Windows 10 that supports an impressive number of file formats. If someone is just running it on their one client system and it's just indexing a single SSD in that system that's not a big deal but with many volumes including HDDs across multiple network shares too, it takes long enough that I opted to just leave it running. Maybe they've changed that in subsequent versions, being able to search the old index while it builds a new one, but I doubt it. Having it happen when a system is off and then booted, doesn't matter as that particular system gets OS booted maybe twice a year. That's probably near a minute for my use which is too long a wait. ^ That's what I mean but I didn't mention the significance, that its index becomes old then if you have a ton of volumes it's set up to index and need it refreshed, then when you load it you have to wait for it to finish indexing, cannot do a search till that finishes, so instead of taking milliseconds, it takes quite a few seconds, including the time for every single HDD it scans, to spin up, before you can do a search. I mean I know where the file is that I put a list of these search modifiers in but I never did memorize them.Įverything did have some sort of bug that effected my use, something about losing the results on network shares and then rebuilding the index every few minutes regardless of what that interval was set to be in the program, but I reported that and they came out with a fixed version, maybe a year and a half ago. I do have Everything on a system that it has ran on for a while, but I can't remember the syntax for certain things like searching for *all* duplicates. Does Fileseek build an index? That looks like a primary difference, that Everything's index database can become old if you don't leave it running (minimized to taskbar tray), or be waking up drives to scan for changes when you load it if not kept running in the background, but then when you search for something it is lightning fast to not have to search all volumes again, literally only takes milliseconds to display the results and I'm talking about results from over 20 volumes, over a network, removable devices, memory cards, DVDs, flash drives, etc. ![]()
