SearchMyFiles v3.25 Updated

Andrew Lee on 8 Apr 2024

SearchMyFiles is a powerful alternative to the standard Windows search. It allows you to easily find files by wildcard, last modified/created/last accessed time, file attributes, content (text or binary search) and file size. File types available for search includes Microsoft Office and PDF files. The program also be detect duplicate files via the "Search Mode" drop-down box.

Note that the program is non-indexing, meaning it searches the drive directly, which is often slower but more accurate.

@ smaragdus: Thanks ... and updated ;)

I have tried and used several search apps before and was not very impressed but as soon as I saw that this product was from NirSoft I knew I had to try it. NirSoft makes so many great apps that I use a lot, its difficult to say something new about them due to the fact that just about everything they make works great and is pretty awesome overall. One thing is 4sure the native Micro$oft search engine is close to worthless, so just about anything will be an improvement.

The latest version is such a welcome addition as it allows you to set the font and size used in the search results.

My eyes are not what they once was, so increasing the font size makes things much more legible for me especially when sitting far back in my chair!

BPBible Portable v0.5.3.1

billon on 5 Feb 2020
  • 24MB (uncompressed)
  • Released on 29 Apr 2016
  • Suggested by gp_hbk

BPBible is a free, flexible Bible Study tool designed for ease of use. The program has many of the features you would expect including bible, commentary, and dictionary support, search, scripture tooltips etc. BPBible uses a proximity-based search, rather than just a verse-based search. This means that a search can cross-verse boundaries, giving a more natural search. It also supports regular expressions and phrases.

BPBible can read many modules (the above program size is without any modules installed). The main module repository is the CrossWire SWORD Modules repository.

It could not work on my Notebook which is closed to installation of software applications. It might still require some modification of registry. Error message - Close Program

Simple little program, but unfortunate doesn't support unicode, so if you have any files w/ foreign language or other special characters, they'll get cataloged as "?" for any unicode character.

Midas on 2013-02-22 19:32

FYI, I posted a couple of problems I found trying to make Cathy portable @ http://www.portablefreeware.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=62490#p62490

This program is great. I can't believe Windows is now so convoluted that the basic out of the box search works so poorly.

Works well. Found several errors in some junky MP3s I had, although MP3val (http://www.portablefreeware.com/index.php?id=1415) was able to actually fix them. This program of course will test more types of files.

webfork on 2010-04-03 07:28

Testing takes about 1 second / meg on my 2 ghz dual core system.

Can't open the .zip file (I downloaded the file from 2 mirrors, but neither 7-zip nor Uniextract could open it)

donald on 2012-04-12 00:52

Worked great for me no problem with download, extract, or launch.
A great screen capture tool with neat features.
It will not replace FastStone Capture for me but it is a close second, and at half the size worth keeping track of.

HerrBert on 2012-04-12 06:46

Domain is gone, commercial use also free?
Error @starting - not enough Memory... - but it starts
Error @screenshot Fullscreen - not enough Memory - maybe Dualdisplay Problem?

ActiveHotkeys v1.3.1 build 16
