I liked this TheSearchMan and from the looks of their homepage,
It has completed 10000 downloads.

I was really shocked to see that the programmer of TheSearchMan is a
boy of 16 years!
Can you believe that!!
well its true.

I’ll really recommend it.

MAN!!
TheSearchMan is AWESOME!!!!

I didn’t knew Everything could be so dangerous as pointed out by Roy.

I deleted my everything and I use TheSearchMan now.

Functions without a glitch on both my Vista 64-bit and 32-bit machines. If you don’t need encryption or network search, Everything is excellent. Far superior to Microsoft’s search facility on either XP or Vista. Faster than XP’s native search utility, and -most importantly- compared to Vista’s native search it finds …well, it finds ~everything~ ! ( Which the Windows search doesn’t. )

I recommend TheSearchMan.

unlike Everything , TheSearchMan’s database is encrypted and it doesn’t show ALL files at the startup.
The database of Everything is on the most wanted List of hackers as it lists all your files.

TheSearchMan is a mere 30 KB download.
It is portable also. That means NO INSTALLATION.

Unlike Everything or Locate32 which can only search in the index, TheSearchMan can do real searching,ie, in the drive with a super fast speed.

It searched my 50GB Seagate drive in a little over 2 seconds.
It has bagged many 5 stars and Top Software awards.

The interface of TheSearchMan is extremely simple.
Just enter the path and search criteria

TheSearchMan’s database is updated on the fly.

This program does not search network drives. At all. That's a complete dealbreaker. Locate32 (www.locate32.net) is a FAR better alternative, just as fast at locating files but ten times more options, works with network drives, multithreaded drive indexing, can search within files, and is also free.

Highly recommended. It changed the way I work and quickly access files across all my local hard-drives. It surely could be improved in one way or the other – eg., sort by extension – but already the way it is, it is much faster than drilling oneself through to all the varying file-locations and running file searches the usual way.

Everything (except for the name ) is beyond a doubt one of the best tools I have ever found and I have tried multiple thousands over the years. It is so small and so fast it is rather unbelieveable. When it is first loaded/initiated it takes a little bit to build its internal index (and I am talking seconds – not lots of minutes or hours). From then on just let it run in the tray and it will peform a search in nano-seconds. Yes, I have tried it on a system with tens of thousands of files.

One of my key uses for it is to assist in finding malware crap on my machine. More than once it has provided great assistance in that use – e.g. most recently dealing with Confiker/Downadup (sp?).

One time I was fool enough to DL the M$ piece of crap search program which is freaking huge, eats RAM & CPU like they are free and is generally slower than death. Everything is not in the same league. Oh, btw – removed the M$ crap in less than one day.

Samer, you are right – this is your blog and I should not pollute it with my “ads”. At least pay attention for my software – that is all what is necessary for me.

@ vitali_y: exactly why would I worry that a better software exists?

If your comment was made in Dec it may have been lost alongside many others when the server crashed.

Otherwise it may have been deleted by my Spam filter, which (who knows?) may have more wisdom than I thought.

This program does not seem better at all to me…

ok, I’ll try once more.
StopKa desktop search tool – http://www.stopka.us
As I think StopKa is better, but I’m the author – so you should check this. 1 thing what I say – StopKa search a little bit faster and has more possibilities for search.
