This program saves names of all files in your hard drives to file database. After that you can locate files. Very fast. This program works like updatedb and locate in Unix systems. Win32 based locating program also included. Program works with Windows 98/ME/NT4/2000/XP (and with Windows 95 if Internet Explorer 3 is installed).
What's New in version 3.1.8.9210:
Options menu renamed to Tools and "Delete Private data" feature added
Added a notification message when language is changed, language settings tab shows version for translations
Stop button enabled with search while typing
Preliminary support for template files in "Save Results" (see templates directory)
Improved error messages in status bar (including "Search while typing")
Fixed: when Avant Browser is used as Web Browser, "Open" in context menu do nothing
Fixed: may work with Windows 98 and NT 4
Fixed: renaming failed with unicode files
Fixed (locate.exe): '-p' argument allows now '..' in directory name

Pros: None
Cons: None
Other Thoughts: The best search utility? Far from it. If files aren't indexed, they're not found. This raises the need for incessant indexing, something I have no stomach for.
