Freeware Search for Windows 7
September 10, 2011
While numerous options exist for enterprise search for firms and companies, file search options on personal computes remain few and frustrating. The default file search in Windows is woefully slow. An alternative for faster PC searches is given in “FileSearchEx Is a Fast Search Utility for Windows 7.”
Windows 7: FileSearchEx is a freeware utility for Windows 7 that searches through files faster than the default Windows search. Modeled after the Windows XP search, it features a simple, familiar interface and a variety of search filters.
Mac users might be reminded of Apple’s efficient spotlight search feature, which accomplishes much of the same functions. However, longtime PC users might have nightmares of the now defunct Rover, the Windows search puppy. In a stressful moment of locating a lost file, a user needs an efficient search option, not an animated puppy with a wagging tail. Until Windows incorporates an efficient feature, FileSearchEx seems like a good alterative.
