F&S File Find Files

F&S file find is a child of necessity. I needed a small command-line app that can quickly search my hard drive for files on Microsoft Windows. After several times in one day that I had to search my drive, I decided enough is enough and decided to spend a few hours writing this app.

The main objectives are the ones I needed on that specific day of repeated searches: 1. Search speed is priority number 1. I need a result now. All other tasks are secondary. 2. Repeated searches should be Ultra-fast. I already searched my entire drive, so second searches need to be near-instantaneous. 3. Today's computers are resource-rich and multi-cored. No reason not to use it during search (even if this temporarily hogs the computer's resources).

The tool is provided as an executable and is portable (no installation at the moment).

Important note: the app creates a folder called fns_db in the same folder that the executable resides. These files are used as a cache for consequent searches. So it is strongly advised to place the executable in a permanent location and its own folder!

The application is provided as-is without any liability. Use at your own risk. The code is published under the public domain (GPL v3).
