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 ;)

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.

  • 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.

  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
• 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.
