Snowbird is a small and fast non-indexing search program. It displays results in real-time as the search progresses. A preview window is available that lets you peek at text files, pictures and webpages from the search results. Besides searching in file names, it can also be configured to look for text inside certain files, such as Word documents or Excel spreadsheets.

A great speedy file manager. There are a couple of things that need to be added to make it really usable:
1) Make it open in the folder that was accessed when it was closed last,
2) Provide drag and drop.
Otherwise, it's the only file manager I have found that works when launched as Local System user.
I notice that the current version is 3 years old (2009).

I tried Snowbird in earlier versions, kind of "meh".
This version much better, at least it doesnt immediately crash like v 5 did for me.
BUT --- BUT --- BUT ---- I can't find any PREVIEW WINDOW. Perhaps this feature has been dropped, this software seems to change a lot with each release. If anyone can tell me how to get that preview, I'd be grateful.

My favourite search tool is Everything: http://www.voidtools.com/
It's super fast, has a simple interface and supports regex. However, I'll keep this on hand for network searches as Everything doesn't support UNC file paths at this stage.

Right click to zip with 7zip does no show in context menu?

looks good. but I prefer agent ransack. another free search program that does support wildcard (and regex).
Not as cute but more functional

Works like a charm in Windows 7 build 7048 x64! You can disable and remove Internet Explorer 8 and Windows Search from within 'Programs & Features', and then use this and firefox (or opera) for a faster, leaner, and safer machine.

You can save the .htm file by renaming it so that it is not over-written with the next search if you wish to save a search.
