Search EVERYTHING fast and accurately in Windows Operating System

Windows 7 RTM was released months ago, many people like the interface, functionality and stability of the Microsoft new brand operating system.

One of many new features that I really appreciate is the improved Windows Search component. In Windows 7, users can search almost everything merely by using text filed in Windows Start Menu. Fantastic, isn’t it?

I’m sure there are many people still using Windows XP, or Windows XP/Windows 7 dual boot environment due to multifarious reasons. So, if you are currently using the previous versions Windows for work and study, you may feel some inconvenient to deal with the Windows Search component that lacks of function, because you cannot search detailed information by using it.

In this post, I will introduce three excellent tools to help you search almost everything in no matter Windows XP, Windows 7 or other versions of Windows desktop operating system.

  • Everything - Locate files and folders by name instantly

Everything is perhaps the FASTEST file search tool in the world. It can index and search billions of files (by file name) in several seconds. When you type in the keywords, the search result will display immediately!

Everything - Search files by filename

Everything has clean and simple user interface, real-time updating, can share search results in HTTP and FTP. It’s fairly an excellent freeware tool.

Notice that Everything can use only in NTFS partitions. Still using FAT32? You can refer to this article – Convert FAT or FAT32 to NTFS.

Windows Desktop Search was initially released as MSN Desktop Search, as a part of the MSN Toolbar suite. It’s now built in Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 as Windows Search or Instant Search.

Windows Search uses a different architecture and a new indexer compared to Indexing Service. For Windows XP, Windows Search is available as an add-on application, which is Windows Desktop Search 4.0 to be introduced here.

Windows Desktop Search - Instant Search

Windows Desktop Search - Instant Search in Taskbar

Windows Search provides an easy and comprehensive solution for finding and organizing the content you care about, no matter where it lives. The latest version of Windows Desktop Search for the desktop and the enterprise delivers fast search capabilities for files, e-mail, documents, and more.

Windows Desktop Search - Complex Search

Google Desktop is desktop search software made by Google for Mac OS X, Linux, and Microsoft Windows. The program allows text searches of a user’s e-mails, computer files, music, photos, chats, Web pages viewed. You can quick access Google desktop search by pressing <Ctrl> two times.

Google Desktop - Fast Search UI

Google Desktop - Fast Search UI

Google Desktop provides a different way to handle file searches. While Windows Search provides search results in Windows Explorer, Google Desktop provides them via web browsers.

Google Desktop - Provide fully functions search in web browser

Google Desktop - Provide search functions in web browser

Windows Search and Google Desktop is both powerful file contents search tool. In my test, the former is faster in indexing, while the latter is faster in providing search results. Which one to deploy? The choose is up to you :)

    I still prefer Lookeen to search my Outlook! I really trust this search and never saw a faster and clearer one! Therefore Lookeen can also search within attachments and in public folders and more! The best is that you have a mail search and a desktop search in one, so you don´t need two seperate programms and you can save memory capacity!Here you find it http://www.lookeen.net

    Most people wear lace wigs because of alopecia or other hair thinning. But some people love lace front wigs because it allows them to change textures, colors, and styles without damaging their natural hair. Most importantly because cheap lace wigs are not like other wigs, and they actually look like the hairs are growing out of the scalp.
