epp_b Posted May 9, 2004 Share Posted May 9, 2004 I'm looking for a file search tool that is as close to the Win9X search tool as possible as an alternative to the crappy Windows XP search tool. I'd prefer a freebie, but I'd be willing to pay if it were decent.Effective File Search from SowSoft is the closest that I've been able to find, but it's not free. Any other decent ones out there?

Peachy Posted May 9, 2004 Share Posted May 9, 2004 How about Windows grep? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stryder Posted May 9, 2004 Share Posted May 9, 2004 Hey epp. Not sure if this is exactly what you are looking for but I know my girlfriend likes it. And it is free as well.http://www.mythicsoft.com/agentransack/download.aspxShe said she likes this one too.http://www.sowsoft.com/file-name-search.htmHope these help, bud.

epp_b Posted May 9, 2004 Author Share Posted May 9, 2004 Thanks for the links. Instant File Search is too simple for me (I need to be able to search text within files).Agent Ransack looks interesting (although, it has one stupid name!)
