![]() ![]() ![]() So, final decision: I am leaving Filelocator Pro installed and will thoughtfully test it for the full 30 days trial and hope v9 comes out soon as planned and with the missing pieces.Top Software Keywords Show more Show less To be sure I wasn't missing that feature somewhere, I tried to download the manual, and got a 404 first, then by digging on their website, found another link, but it seems there is only a german version, no english. ![]() ? Price is also a factor since they ask for Euro and exchange rate with Euro is horrible :( Nice software, much better UI than Filelocator, but no custom filetypes is weird, and a killer for me. One weird thing, I cannot add custom filetypes. Like filepro, it can also do direct search of non-indexed stuff, althout in a more friendly way. ![]() Initial indexing is slower than other apps, but it has absolutely no impact on regular work on the PC, so they traded speed to make sure the impact on the system was nil, which is fine by me. Great ui! I found how to do things intuitively without any hitch. German business(they usually make good softwares!). Hulbee Desktop Pro: Found this one through a search online. Listary: installed it, and met so many "Coming soon :) " in the interface, while trying to find where to create the index, that I left it aside since the dev is AWOL. I still ended the test with a good vibe about this software. I wish I could test that version to see if those features are done correctly(and the gui seems changed too!). No "live" indexing where files are re-indexed after a change, and not being able to specify filetype when searching in the index are two big minus, but I am reading that this should be in v9 coming out soon(tm). Really old looking GUI that isn't really intuitive to newcomers. yml is a huge bonus) Some downsides: I had to read the doc to find out how to create and use the index. I can easily add more filetypes too(I do alot of scripting, so adding. Testing searches on the index was hyper fast, previews of the doc loaded very fast too, I was impressed! You can also do "live" search, not using the index, and I have to say it's much faster then windows search too. Maybe as it matures i twill fix those(the pro version seems recent)įilelocator Pro: Fast, did it's scan without slowing down the system, and indexed everything I asked for. Also, it completely froze while I was doing simple searches. The features themselves are very nice, but it did put a toll on the system, cpu and memory wise, while indexing. File content is not indexed, searching content is slow.ĭocfetcher Pro: Java based, so I was wary of resource consumption, and I was right. I confirmed this from their FAQ too:ĭoes Everything search file contents? Yes, "Everything" can search file content with the content: search function. It will go through the file to search the text, but since it's not indexed, it takes a very, very long time. Voidtools Everything: Ultimately, it doesn't index content, and that's something I require. So, I think it's time to see if there are others contenders, thanks for all the replies here :) You stop paying, you go back to the free version(which is gimped beyond measure) Their live indexing(files changed are detected and reindexed on the spot) was absolutely incredible, but since v6 it does have an impact on regular work, not sure why. As time went on, we lost features(they later added many back as "plug-in" that you have to pay extra for), the single Pro version got split in multiples versions, and it shifted to an annual subscription model. I'd say the seet spot was around v4, it was fast, unobtrusive, and included everything. that's not good), not configurable enough.īack in the day I also tested X1, so I looked at it once more, but at 80$ US/year, it's definitively not for home users anymore.įirst, my system is recent, i5-8400 with 6 core and 32 GB of ram, and one thing I hate is noticing a slowdown while I work because of background tasks, so this is an important point for me, no slowdown.Įvery software I have tested either were free or had a trial version.Ĭopernic Desktop Search Professional: That's the version I have now, and I've used various versions for over 10 years. I tested it once more and it is still too slow, too high on resource(I *KNOW* when it runs.
