Maybe some of you may ask, “Why do I need Text Finding, if I already have Windows Search or Google Desktop Search built in?”

The reasons are that Text Finding combines two searching ways and offers you much more options.

Gather indexing and non-indexing services together:

Different from other desktop search apps, Text Finding combines index search and non-index search. By using Text Finding, you can make your computer files indexed in order to scan them in background, which can offer you a much faster searching experience. However, if you don’t like this background operating, non-indexed finding may be your favorable option, which doesn’t require you to do indexing before searching. Text Finding is an innovative computer files search tool gathering these two searching services.

Text Finding is a powerful search utility with more features which Windows Search does not offer. It runs in a unique way, combining indexed and non-indexed search in order to offer the most efficient solutions to your computer files searching.

Much More Choices:

Sometimes you may need other options to do further searching, such as finding the text or files in exact modified date or exact size, etc. Text Finding offers lots of useful choices that you may need but Windows search never provides.

It supports to search for folders by folder name and find files by file name, file text, modified date and size. Unlike with Windows Search, with Text Finding you can set the exact size (Byte, KB, MB or GB), the exact modified date (any, today, this week, this month, this year) and click “Exact Phrase Match Checker” button to get exact phrase match results. Even if the files are hidden, you can search for the full text inside multiple files by inputting its full name or section of its name, and even find it by regex. For example, if you enter “.ppt” and select “this week” in the “Modified Date”, it will display all those PowerPoint documents you used this week on your computer. Besides, using Text Finding, you can sort the searched results quickly by file text, file name, folder name, modified date and size. And searching LAN PC files is also available . There is no need for you to install other applications.

"How can I search for specific text strings within multiple computer files?"

Here are some solutions:

Find full text by indexed or non-indexed searching
Text Finding program has a unique feature, providing with indexed and non-indexed search. If you prefer the former, you need to first create the search index in "Settings" while Text Finding is runnig. The indexed PC files keep synchronized with the (changed) content to ensure the accuracy of the searching results. If the files are changed in your selected indexed scope, Text Finding will automatically create index for them; however, if some contents are removed, their corresponding text in the indexed scope will be also deleted. Unlike with indexing search, there is no such restriction with non-indexing search. Using non-indexed finding, you can randomly specify the search scope and files types.

Search documents (Word, Excel, PDF, ect.) for full text by file name or content on your own PC or network desktop
With Text Finding, whatever way (by file name or by its content) you use to search files, you may get the results in a bunch of files or folders on your PCs or LAN desktop in a matter of minutes. If you search by inputting only one word, e.g. "computer”, it will display text with “computer” in the results field and the “Exact Phrase Match Checker” button keeps gray. If you entering a phrase or a sentence, e.g. “search computer files”, you will find all texts containing “search”, “computer” and "files" but not always the complete phrase, “search computer files”. In this case, you need to click “Exact Phrase Match Checker” button to get the exact phrase match results (which are ticked in the searched results)

Find files containing text by Regex
Text Finding supports searching text according to regex. It means that you can find content in multiple file types. For example, if you enter “.doc” or “.pdf” in the search box, it will display all the Word or PDF documents in your specified folders or drives.

Search computer files by size or modified date
Using Text Finding, you can search for text by file size or modified time. You can specify the size (Byte, KB, MB or GB) and the modified date (today, this week, this month, this year), or customize a size or date range.

View or get shared files across network computers
If you want to search files on LAN PC, you can choose one or more shared PCs which are also running Text Finding, and type what you need to search in the input box. It will display the results in the result field immediately. Then, you can right click and choose “View Text” for viewing the full text. Moreover, if you need some shared files, you can get them by right clicking the results and selecting “Get File”. Those files will be downloaded in the path you set (Settings-Path to Get Files).
