G+_Henning Andersen Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Hello fellow TWiTers! =) Does anyone of you know of a program to download to give you better search in windows (7)? My dropbox file contains a lot of duplicates, and the duplicates all have "-1" at the end of the filename. So i would like to search, or sort, either by file name length, og to search files that end in "-1".. Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Claude Marcotte Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 You're right, Win7 search is pretty bad (and slow!). I installed "Everything" (http://www.voidtools.com/) several years ago but I never use it, I use DOS for this type of filematching (DIR 1.) instead. :-\ Google had a desktop search application (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Desktop), it was awesome, but they discontinued it.

G+_Henning Andersen Posted August 16, 2013 Author Share Posted August 16, 2013 I did some more poking around and suddenly found "everything" as well! Great program! Ended up searcing for -1.jpg to find all the files wich ended in -1. Thanks anyway! =) And yes, i remember the GOOD old days of google desktop, too bad they discontinued it!

G+_Claude Marcotte Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 For a company (Microsoft) wanting to promote its Bing web search, it does pretty poorly on the desktop. ;-) I've tried indexing. Searching is still very, very slow, it doesn't find everything, I don't always need it to look inside files, there are almost no search filters, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
