File Finder
A downloadable tool for Windows
Why I Made it
I had enough of the slow windows explorer search, so I made my own file searcher.
For me it's good enough, but if you would like i can add stuff.
Windows stuff
Windows will probably think I'm sending all trojans to you, because i don't have a certification. But if you dare to download, you are welcome.

- How to search file
In the file name field just type the name of the file or part of it.
You can also select which drive it sould search. Leave it on "Drive" or "All" to search in all.
Toggle on/off the "Exact Search" to search exact ;)
Example:
File name: "myfile.txt"
"its_myfile.txt" or "myfile.png" will not be found. Only "myfile.txt" would be found.
Toggle on/off the "Case Sensitive" to search with case sensitive.
Example:
File name: "MyFile"
"myfile.txt" will not be found. "its_MyfFle.txt" or "MyFile.png" would be found.
- How to search in found files
You can choose what drive to show.
Also you can use the "Case Sensitive" button.
- Threading Modes
Choose the best for your PC.- Non Blocking Multithread
It will launch a lot of thread to go through your folders.
Good for PCs that can handle lot of threads. - Blocking Multithread
It won't launch as much thread as "Non Blocking Multithread", but more then the "Single Thread" so it's a middle choice. - "Single" Thread
It's not really single thread, but it will launch as little as it can.
Good for PCs that have a good CPU Hz rate.
- Non Blocking Multithread
- Search Modes
Choose the best for your PC.
It's affects how fast it loads the found file or when it's loaded, how fast it loads on searching in the files.- Slow
- Moderate
- Fast
- Very Fast
It can be very laggy.
- Timeout
Set how much seconds to wait if nothing happens.- Nothing happen if
- A folder needs Administrator and the app is not launched as Admin
- If no folders found
- Nothing happen if
- Max Files
The max files to find. If you search for ".dll" it will find a lot, but the search will stop if the {Max Files Count} found.
It's very memory consuming so not recommended to set above 1000.
Also the search in files can be very slow if it's a high value.
If the file(s) loaded, there will be 2 buttons on the right side.
The right one will open the containing folder.
The left one will copy the file.
I appriciate the donations for it. :)

This is a fantastic program, it helped out my daily windows journeys. It helps alot when you are using the default windows browse engine on a day-to-day basis. It even cured my cancer! 10/10 would recommend.
