![]() ![]() Note: SearchMyFiles has nothing to do with Search My Files, another desktop search program that we reviewed in the past. It allows you to easily search files in your system by wildcard, by last modified/created/last accessed time, by file attributes, by file content (text or binary search), and by the file size. ![]() It does make it easy to run searches which Windows just can't do, though, and as a bonus, the program is tiny and portable, so you can easily use it to scan any convenient PC for the files you need. I reviewed an earlier version of SearchMyFiles in 2012 and concluded that it was an excellent desktop search program for Windows that offered a wealth of search parameters and options. Description SearchMyFiles is an alternative to the standard 'Search For Files And Folders' module of Windows. SearchMyFiles doesn't index your documents, and so searches for file content, say, can be slow. ![]() (Be careful before you delete any of these, though - duplicate files are sometimes necessary and removing the wrong ones can seriously damage your PC.) Surprisingly, the program even doubles as a hard drive cleanup tool: just choose "Duplicates Search" from the Search Mode list and it's able to find files which may be wasting your hard drive space. You can have the program scan NTFS symbolic links and junction points, or not and in a click or two you can choose to search for files, folders, or both. You're able to set the subfolder search depth (available options are anything from 1 to 20, or "unlimited"). So you can choose to exclude particular folders or file extensions from the scan, for instance. Your search can be further modified in unusual ways. You can search for files by wildcard, attributes, size, creation/ modification/ last access time, file contents (text or binary), and more. SearchMyFiles is a portable tool which makes it easy to carry out complex searches for files and folders on your PC. ![]()
