Core Features

  • Near-Instant Indexing: Upon first launch, it rapidly scans the Master File Table (MFT) of NTFS volumes to build a lightweight index of all filenames and paths. It then monitors the USN Journal to keep this index updated in real-time as files are created, deleted, moved, or renamed.

  • Lightning-Fast Searching: Searches based on filenames, paths, or parts thereof return results almost instantly, even across terabytes of data.

  • Low Resource Usage: Consumes minimal CPU and RAM during both indexing and searching operations, making it suitable for use even on lower-end systems without significant performance impact.

  • Powerful Search Syntax: Supports much more than simple keyword searching:

    • Boolean operators (AND, OR, NOT represented by space, |, ! respectively).

    • Wildcards (* for multiple characters, ? for a single character).

    • Regular Expressions (regex) for complex pattern matching.

    • Specific filters for file size (size:), date (dm: for modified, dc: for created, da: for accessed), attributes (attrib:), paths (path:), extensions (ext:), and even file content (content: though this is much slower).
