"The truth" by:zorro Ultra File Search 1.0.2.10298
Pros:Can search in multiple Drives and/or Folders at the same time.
Other Thoughts:The previous review is wrong. Before placing negative reviews should be read the help file.
From Help:
To specify multiple Drives and/or Folders separate them with the Character: '|' (pipe)
(e.g. 'Folder1|Folder2|FolderN' or 'Drive1|Drive2|DriveN' or 'Drive1|Folder1|DriveN|FolderN'
)
Pros:Fast for a search engine with no index and non resident
Cons:Cannot search several drives simultaneously : nonsense
Other Thoughts:OK if search applies now and tomorrow to one drive, or if you have time to loose

"Too slow!" by:Korg
Other Thoughts:File/folder search is very slow. If you only want to find files/folders, use "Everything". It is super, super fast.

"searches plain text only" by:Henry
Other Thoughts:Ultra File Search 0.9.2.9209 tested and found:
1. It only searches for plain text. E.g. I created three files (.doc, .txt. .odt) all of which have the phrase "explantory text". When I search (using option "All words, whole words", the Result only shows the .txt file.
2. Searching for Chinese phrase. The result shows some file that actually does not contain that phrase.
