crp Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 for some reason, the engineers at M.S decided to break the search functionality of the OS and make it useless. I need a program that will search for all files , given date parameters. Preferably free but shareware would be ok if it actually works. Suggestions? The only one I've found is EFS but it's description is rubbing me the wrong way for some reason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been using it for the past 2 or 3 years now and I wouldn't be without it. The freeware version has the features you're asking for and it is compatible with Windows Server 2008. You can purchase the Pro version if you need the additional features that come with it. Edited November 7, 2011 by Tushman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tushman Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 Try a program called Locate: http://www.locate32.net/ Aldago - I don't see anything on their website stating that it is compatible with Windows Server operating system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crp Posted November 7, 2011 Author Share Posted November 7, 2011 (edited) I didn't know 'Locate32' was still around, I would have mentioned definitely not an option for us. However, Agent Ransack is very impressive - reminds me of Magellan. I'm tempted to purchase a license.
