When it comes to searching for data on the hard drive, SearchMyFiles provides a more powerful functionality than anything Windows has to offer. The main advantage is the fact that you can define numerous parameters, to make your search as accurate as possible. You can locate files by size, creation date, wildcards and more. For example, the application can show you all the files you have created in the last few minutes, if they are of a certain size or if they have certain attributes.

SearchMyFiles is compatible with various Windows versions, from Win 2000 to Win 10. The software is portable, which means that you don't have to install it. You can run it from a USB flash drive if you want to. Furthermore, it doesn't ask for any special tools or services and its hardware requirements are modest.

The main user interface consists of only a results list, but a second window will show up, when you launch the application, on which you can specify what you are looking for. You may start with simple specifications, like a name, a wildcard, selecting a base folder or setting up exclusions. Additionally, you can make a series of fine tweaks, like setting a maximum and minimum file size or specifying a creation or modification date.

Locating one or more files is not all you can do. The software can be set to look for duplicates, duplicate names, it can be set to summary search mode and more. The best part is that you will have the same controls at your disposal, regardless of what mode you choose.

If you need to search for specific files on your hard drive, SearchMyFiles will meet any demands you may have.

Pros

The application lets you set up numerous search parameters. The controls are well organized and easy to master. SearchMyFiles is portable, so you don't have to go through an installation process.

Cons

There are no obvious issues to mention.
