Hope you all like it.

I did verify it is also available at download.com (who prescreens for malware) and my a/v software didn't hiccup, so I think it is very safe.
I think it quickly searches file names and works based on multiple partial keywords. i.e. sat mot would bring back all files including saturation and motor in the filename.
I don't think it searches contents of files such as pdf.. but you can't have everything. That feature is available in google desktop, but that is a massive resource-intensive program that bogs down slower machines.

Yes, it's a very nice program, but it's doing a different job to Google Desktop and the Windows search program. Incidentally, if you are running Vista it indexes document files anyway, so you may as well use it (for searching for text within a document). I used to use Google Desktop but it was slowing things down too much, so I got rid of it.

I e-mailed to David Carpenter, the developer of this tool, congratulating him on his brainchild. He replied back saying he worked on it for 5 years and the research was funded with only a few donations.
So, I intend to visit his 'donate' web page.
Hint, hint, nudge, nudge.
