FAST FILE SEARCHESLet Finders Keepers do the search--you do the thinking.TM
SEARCH AND REPLACE FILES IN FINDERS...In the Finders section, Finders KeepersTM helps you find what you are looking for on disk. That would be a file or something in a file. You can search files 4 ways : plain text, regular expressions, approximate, and sound-alike. With three of these four ways, all but plain-text, you can find your text even when you are not sure of the spelling. You can replace found targets. But generally, you will find your targets in order to look at them. Finders KeepersTM provides 6 ways to view or edit files you find in searches. Click on the image below to see the screen for file searches.
USE INDEXED TEXT RETRIEVAL IN KEEPERS...In the Keepers section, Finders KeepersTM provides indexing, or indexed text retrieval , as yet another way to search through files, and view or launch the files you find. Indexing enables very fast searching for a group of documents or entire hard drives. Indexed searches take less than a second. Indexing is also useful for studying, reviewing, or checking documents. For example, if you have a court case with John Doe or you wrote a novel about John Doe, you may want to index all files where he might appear in order to see what you said about him--for consistency and the like.

SEARCH AND REPLACE TEXT SAFELYFinders KeepersTM can find and replace text many times faster than you can by hand, and more than than, it can do it safely. You can exclude any number of file extensions from find and replace operations, e.g., ".sys" and ".exe". The program keeps backups of all changed files. If you have new users around, you can password-disable the replace functions. FOR NEW OR ADVANCED USERS...Three of the four search methods in Finders KeepersTM are "non-technical": plain-text, sound-alike, and approximate. The plain-text method will find just what you type in; but the sound-alike and approximate methods will find words or phrases that are close to what you type in. Finders KeepersTM has many features to suit the advanced user, including regular expressions, scores of options, batch mode, built-in binary and text viewers, looking through zip files, and indexed text retrieval.
