Index Your Files allows you to search through all your files or folders on local or networked drives. Searching can be done by name, date, size, location etc., and boolean operators are available to to perform multiple keyword searches. You can invoke Windows Explorer context menus on found files to perform operations such as drag/drop, copy, rename, delete etc. It also includes internal viewers for text, HTML and image files.
As the name implies, the program must index the area before searching, but afterward searches almost instantly.
Note: v5.0.2.6 is effectively the last freeware version of IYF. The current version is named "IYF Pro", and is an extreme nagware (as described by webfork here) that is effectively just a commercial demo, so we have decided not to update this entry, but link to the Internet Archive for download of the last freeware version.

I liked the program and am trying to use it for indexing a network drive. I'm indexing through a DSL connection that occasionally drops. The index takes about 10 hours for 1.5 million files and the drive size looks on the order of 2.5 TB.

Multi Path Files Finder 1.00 is my preferred file search utility. Reasonably small, flexible, and efficient. Does not use a (undesireable, for me) index database; but is fast nonetheless -- Searched C:\ and all subdirectories for "*.exe" files -- found 1,774 files in 15 seconds. |
SearchFilterView allows you to easily view the search filters installed on your system and the file extensions that are associated with them, as well as it allows you to easily add or remove file extensions for these filters.

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: |
HABExam is a search tool that aims to combine the best of Windows own search tool and GREP, trying to make a more flexible and user-friendly search. The program includes normal text/unicode/hex search, different positions in word. The program can search by file mask, selected files, Hidden/System files, and can exclude/include by type or subfolder.

I tried to delete it to see if it was locked, but I had no problem... I donĀ“t know what is the reason of that strange behaviour. The only thing I can think is that you "have installed the program"... I did not install it, but I used it as portable

I unzipped the _files.zip, as suggested. I also redownloaded it and removed it normally... I don't know why it's in use at my other test.
