A simple user interface makes searching text in files quick and easy

Once your first search is initiated, the program will index all the files found on the selected drive. This index will be maintained for all future searches. Input the text you want to search in the search field, and select the drive you want to search and the file format. *.* is also available for searching all files if you are unsure of the extension.
