    Utility - File Search


    NOTE: VERSION 2.0 IS LOCATED HERE

    Title: FileFind
    Description:
    I built this utility as a replacement to the default windows search. It contains the same basic functionality as the windows search. It allows you to search by a whole/part of a file name and/or by as string within a file. It displays the search results in a List View and allows you to export the results to Excel (FYI…it uses late binding so Excel is not required to run the Utility).
    Features:
    • Search by all or part of a file name
    • Search by a string within a file
    • Can export results to Excel (FYI…it uses late binding so Excel is not
      required to run the Utility)
    • Can open any file found
    • Can open the directory of any file found
    • Allows you to pause/resume the search
    • Allows you to cancel the search
    • Optional – Get a count of how many times a string appears within the found file
    • Optional – Search case sensitive
    • Optional – Include Sub folders in search
