Search files blazing fast

If you know there is a file somewhere on your machine, but you cannot find it with the default Windows Search Tools (that why they tend to call it Windows Search and not Windows Find Smile ) then switch to a tool that really works.

Go to http://www.voidtools.com/ to download your copy of Everything. The download is only small (350KB), it indexes fast (within 5 mins) and searches my complete computer even faster then I can type.

I only blame David Carpenter for not spreading the word more aggressively and for not developing this earlier.

I use a program called Ava Find (it is $40 though for pro)
I have been using it for 6 years now and absolutely love it.

There are only a handful of issues I have run into with it over the years. It hasn’t been updated since 2003 but it doesn’t need much in my opinion except for a few fixes.
