SeekFast
SeekFast did a tremendous job for us – it searched in our Word documents as well as in our software projects. The tool helped us to search in thousands of files in just seconds. We integrated different technologies in SeekFast for intelligent search and retrieval and for extracting text from different file types. Each of these file types has a different, sometimes very complex structure, so our development took a relatively long time. We gradually added options for searching Excel files, and later for searching Open Document Format documents, such as OpenOffice Writer files. In return, we got a product that is universal enough to be able to search in all the most frequently used documents on any computer. In recent years SeekFast has become one of the most popular desktop search tools. SeekFast can search in documents written in any language. It is already used all over the world by over 50,000 users, and their numbers are increasing daily.

Everything
"Everything" is search engine that locates files and folders by filename instantly for Windows. Unlike Windows search "Everything" initially displays every file and folder on your computer (hence the name "Everything"). You type in a search filter to limit what files and folders are displayed. "Everything" only indexes file and folder names and generally takes a few seconds to build its database. A fresh install of Windows 10 (about 120,000 files) will take about 1 second to index. Everything can search file content with the content, search function. File content is not indexed, searching content is slow. A fresh install of Windows 10 (about 120,000 files) will use about 14 MB of ram and less than 9 MB of disk space. 1,000,000 files will use about 75 MB of ram and 45 MB of disk space. Your search windows will reflect changes made to the file system. "Everything" will run on Windows XP, Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8 and Windows 10.
