SwiftSearch Reviews

Very usefull but needs ability to drag drop found files to other apps. Wish I had time to study it.

I didn't think it was possible to search by file names at such a speed

i test many search angine all are crap, but this soft is easy to use , fast and powerful. Thanks to developer

I really like this program, I use it very often. However, it will NOT forget the previous searches. If I want to carry on a search, looking for the same thing. How dow I make it NOT search for items that have already been dealt with? e.g. search for a file that has a computer file that has attached itself to an item, I have removed this item. e.g. A torrent file that has been downloaded, "completely", then the computer has a catastrophic crash. The file is still there, when I restart my dowload, my torrent program adds a extention to the incomplete file. Say ".! qB". the torrent program can still see the extension, so I then end up with a duplicate of every file. Anyway, the upshot is, "SWIFTSEARCH", will not forget OLD searches, and still finds the files that have been edited - that it has the torrent extension removed. e.g. www.torrentfile.txt.!qB - it still shows the file with that extension in swiftsearch, but when I find the file, the extension is not there. This happens even though, I have closed the program and restarted it. BTW, it is no good telling to use code to change this, I am too old to use it. Thanks in advance.

This is excellent Search Application, I wish, there should be some option to replace Windows Search or "Cortana" with this one.

I love this program. I use it daily. I have actually added it to the menu when I right click my Windows Start button. My biggest complaint is that the for the REGEX functions are vague . It took me YEARS to figure out!

I think it is undervalued project. In many business tasks, quick search that bypasses high level thus slow file system API, is sensitive.

Exceptionally fast search and clearly described idea how to reach that.

searches fast on latest windows 10 x64 with 2TB SSD

Really easy to use, have the necessary features without make this bloated, also the support is great :D

Last version (7.1.3) works fine again :-) Last version (7.0) always crashes on my PC with Win7 x64, version 6.1 works.

Very fast but lacks ability to do a multi-word search which is very useful for ebook and music file searches as there is no standard to naming these files. Knowing what version you're using of SwiftSearch is anybodies guess. Again, with v7.0, the build date has been added but the version number is still missing although it's shown on the download page. Earlier versions had no Copy function but this has been added with v7.0.

essential!

This is far and away the fastest desktop search that I have ever used. Not as feature rich as the defunct Exalead One, but it more than makes up for that in raw speed. Now, about the name, it might be too easily confused with malware that goes by the same name.

SwiftSearch is aptly named; it provides nearly instantaneous results in my system, which is an X58/i7-970 PC running Windows 10 64-bit with a total of 8TB of data present in a mix of large and small files. I approve of the feature that double-clicking on a file's name opens the folder containing the file then highlights the file; if one wishes to open the said file, it is necessary at that point only to press the <return> key. My only wish is for the ability to search mapped network drives.

انا استعمل البرنامج للبحث السريع وكذا ايجاد الملفات الكبيرة في جهازي :3 great app !!! , i use it for instance search and find duplicates big files in my drives. ^_^

عالیییییی

Five stars for being the fastest search tool and for being freely available, on top of that. I would prefer smaller icons and single-line data for the date columns, so that each file occupies a single line rather than 2 lines. I feel that would be easier to read and more consistent.

Great tool! I use it almost every day. The problem with crashing under Win 7 seems to have gone away. I'm now using it under 8.1 and it does an excellent job.

Excellent fast search program. Developer really put serious effort in getting it to work right. Impressed!

I had high hopes for SwiftSearch after it was highly recommended in a reputable computer magazine that I subscribe to, but after downloading it I found that the first few times it ran on my x64Bit Windows 7 Home Premium Edition laptop it ran perfectly except for the fact that each time I tried to run it, I was asked by Windows to give my permission for it to run/load. Once loaded I found that the program more than lived up to its title as it was indeed a swift search that found the file I set it looking for in a fraction of the time that the usual Windows search tool took to find the same file in the same location on my computer. Brilliant! However, after around a dozen or so searches, SwiftSearch began to stop responding while in search mode and the repeatedly crashed on me. I deleted the program and downloaded it once again from the official SourceForge download page for SwiftSearch opting for the newer version 3.0 in the hope that this would resolve the "not responding" and subsequent crashing glitch but was really upset to find that I was still being asked for permission to allow the program to run and then to find that when SwiftSearch did run it crashed straight away each time I tried to use it!! Sadly, what seemed like an excellent program initially, SwiftSearch's glitches make it unusable and my starred rating of one star seems overly generous in the extreme for me. IMHO, SwiftSearch has so much potential but the fact that I could not get it to run without giving it permission and then the ensuing "not responding" glitch which was followed by the program crashing means it deserves NO stars from me in actuality. That said, because of its potential, I will keep checking back with SourceForge for future SwiftSearch updates and will certainly download it in a future incarnation of the promise that it briefly showed me during its initial dozen or so searches.... Oh, and just for the record, I encountered the same problem(s) trying to run the program on two separate x64Bit Windows 7 Home Premium Edition laptops for comparison's sake. ******* UPDATE: Hi Mehrdad, Thanks for your response to my review. As you requested, I have downloaded the latest version of your SwiftSearch program and I am experiencing problems with it before I even get it installed.... Having tried to download the updated version of SwiftSearch on my WinXP PC I cannot connect to any of the download servers to complete the download? I initially connect and then the download ceases - not good at all when you consider that I can otherwise access the Internet perfectly well on this machine. Trying to download the program onto my 64bit Win7 laptop is much easier and the download is successful but when I run the installer I keep getting the following error message: C:\Users\My User Name\Downloads\SwiftSearch v4.1 [01-02-2015]\SwiftSearch.exe is not a valid Win32 application. No matter what I try, I simply cannot get SwiftSearch to install and that being the case, I cannot amend my earlier review. In fact, as I cannot even run the program, then my review is LESS favourable than its initial posting and that is quite sad because SwiftSearch showed so much promise when it was running but that promise has dissipated into deep disappointment. I really WOULD love to be able to run the program, but it seems that I am destined not to do so for the foreseeable future.....

Hi, SwiftSearch in French... Here the french translation: www.colok-traductions.com/modules.php?name=Blogs&op=billet&bid=2227#billet Best regards Colok

Searching is quick enough. I like the clean and simple interface. Pretty much what I am looking for, but..... If after a search I leave it in the background for a few minutes it eventually crashes. In fact, it bogs my system horribly to where I can barely use my computer. Running on Win 7 32 bit. 3 Stars due to the crash, would be 5 stars though if the bug is found.

Compared your software with Ultrasearch & Everything. Everything seems to be faster but its using USN Journal system which I assume is some sort of indexing and uses very little amount of memory. Ultrasearch search MFT like SwiftSearch but is slower, results from searching a particular file ends up with UltraSearch using over 500MB memory while SwiftSearch using over 800MB memory. I think if the memory usage can be reduced it would definitely better than UltraSearch.
