The main objective is to provide an easier way to locate found texts and a clearer view of searching context.

- Shows the position of active find, as well as the total number of matches.
- Automatically picks up the selected text (if there is any) and fills it into the edit field of findbox.
- Starts the search from the current selected text (IE starts from the first one by default) to have a better picture of where you are.
- When the next match is not in the viewable area, it will try to scroll to the middle of the frame. (IE scrolls to the top or bottom by default)
- A history droplist box remembers recently searched entries. You can set the maximum length or clear the history in the config window.
- Ability of jumping to Nth match.
- Separate buttons for "Previous" and "Next" match.
- Configurable via a setup dialog (colors for highlight matches and active find, maximum history length, and clear history)

Manage Start Menu, Quick Launch, Favorites and Desktop Shortcuts The window that appeasr as Find Shortcuts starts is similar to the Find Files window that comes with Windows 98. Most of the elements (menus, buttons, etc.) should be familiar.
Shortcuts always have a "target" which will be invoked. Depending on the target, the shortcut may open a folder, run a program, open a document, play a music file, open a web page, and so forth.
When "Test" is selected (from the Edit menu, clicking the Test button, or by pressing F7), Find Shortcuts checks the target of each shortcut to see if it is valid.
Since shortcuts can have a variety of targets, testing can involve various actions, but in most cases Find Shortcuts simply checks to see if the target exists on your system.
During testing, a progress bar appears in the second portion of the status bar. If any shortcuts fail the test, that part of the status bar will indicate how many failed.
Shortcuts that pass the test will display a green check mark beside the filename. Those that fail will have a red "X" and the entire line for that shortcut will be red
If the Named box is left empty, Find Shortcuts will search for all shortcuts. Otherwise, only shortcut filenames matching the search string will be found. Wildcards (* and ?) can be used, but are often not necessary.
For example, entering "ms" in the Named box will locate all shortcuts which contain "ms" (or "MS") anywhere in their filename. The Named box also includes a drop down list of previous search strings.
The Types box can limit the search to only certain types of shortcuts. This can be useful if you are searching through large numbers of shortcuts (e.g., the entire Start Menu).
Once you click Find Now (or press Enter) you will see search results (if any shortcuts matching the search criteria are found). Once you see files you can test the shortcuts.

Fresh Find provides instant access to search engines, so you dont spend time firing up your browser and making your way to a search page.
The program runs silently in the background (taking up little memory) and is activated by a global hotkey, the default being Ctrl-Alt-G. Fresh Find is an search engine that helps you find documents.
Once the hotkey is hit, the program will activate. Then, just type in your search query and hit enter.
The default search engine is Google, but you can choose also choose Yahoo, MSN Search, AOL Search, and Mamma. To change you search engine, click the button to the left of the search field (or hit Alt) to bring up the menu. To add your own favorite search engine to Fresh Find, go into Options.
