Searcher 4.0

The complete file management and text searching utility for Windows, Searcher finds text in, and creates or extracts ZIP compressed files. It searches all of the selected disks in a users system or network, for files and text specified with multiple specifications for: disks, directories, file names, DOS file attributes, file size range, file date range, and/or text contents. Multiple directories may be specified by wild card or point and click from the displayed tree. Up to eleven different configurations of the program (such as backing up to floppy disk), including past search specification entries may be stored and recalled with the press of a button.


Files which match any of the users specified search criteria are displayed in scrollable list boxes, which include the files name, path, size, date, file attributes, and the location of the text string in the file. For text searches, the text string and surrounding characters are displayed. The files may be sorted by file name, extension, directory, date, or size. Selected files may be copied, moved, deleted, run, have attributes modified, viewed for text with the Search Editor, or any of over 100 included icons, may be installed for the files in the Program Manager, or multiple programs may be launched, in one operation.


Included is the Search Editor which opens up to 16 windows of files selected from Searchers list box. Files found in a text search are automatically scrolled to the text location. It edits multiple files, the size of which are limited only by available disk space. Searcher retails for $29.95. Try the shareware version now by clicking on "Download Searcher" text.
