Publisher's description of Everything
From voidtools:Everything is a search engine for Windows that replaces the normal Windows search with a much faster one. Unlike Windows search, Everything initially displays every file and folder on your computer. You can type in a search filter to limit what files and folders are displayed. Everything only uses file and folder names and generally takes a few seconds to build its database. 1,000,000 files will take about 1 minute.
Version 1.1.4.301 adds -search
Editor's review of Everything
4.0 stars
- "All of your PC right now"
This small software application bypasses Windows search with a lightning quick interface and real-time results for all of the files and folders in your local hard drive or any subsection of it. The software doesn't do much more than search, but its efficiency, effectiveness, stability, and low system resource usage make it a keeper utility.
The software is split into two main controls: the search box and the results page. When you first run Everything, it will create an index of all the files and folders on your machine. Unless you have millions of files, the index will be created before you know it. Searching is done in real time, as you type--i.e. the search term "rad" returns 379 objects, "radio" returns 160, and "radiohead" returns 71, all instantly.
The results screen can display seven different fields: Name, Path, Size, Last Write Time, Creation Time, Last Access Time, and Attributes. Sorting by any field takes a little longer than searching, but only slows down noticeably when you sort more than 1,000 results.
Everything also lets users connect to HTTP, FTP, or ETP (Everything Transfer Protocol) servers to allow remote searches, but its functionality is mostly singular--searching your local PC very quickly with minimal resources, and it accomplishes that well. If you've never struggled with Windows search before, you might pass Everything by; if your computer is a disorganized mess with files all over the place, Everything might be a wonderful gift.

"Best yet. Light on resources and very FAST!"
Pros: Simple and has worked better and faster than anything I have used so far. This one is a real keeper. Does not bog down the systems resources.

Summary: Works, is fast, and simply does the job.

Version: Everything 1.1.4.301
Pros: Does exactly what it says and FAST! You only need to type in a part of the file name you are looking for and every file with that as a portion of the name comes up. This finds files of any format. Great for finding files that you didn't intend to sta
Cons: None that I can think of.
Summary: One great thing is that it even searches my portable hard drive, if it is attached, simultaneously. No special parameters are necessary, just type in the approximate file name and every hit with the search name as part of the file name comes up inst... read more >>
