Dulu saya mengandalkan FileSeeker atau Efective File Search yang beberapa kali lebih cepat dan lebih mudah digunakan dari pada tool searching bawaan Windows. Ketika mencari image Ghost Windows Tiny 7 universal, tak sengaja mata saya tertuju pada Everything Search v1.2.1.371 (find files and folders without waiting), sontak saya tanya pada Mbah Gugel, dan sebentar kemudian mendapatkan website dan link downloadnya. Setelah mencoba versi portable, maka SUBHANALLOH, begitu cepatnya hasil pencarian yang dilakukan, hampir tidak ada waktu pencarian, karena kata apa yang saya ketik, maka daftar hasilnya langsung ada di bawahnya meski jumlahnya puluhan ribu.
Jika anda masih setia memakai Windows, maka ini adalah aplikasi wajib pertama yang saya sarankan untuk diinstall, karena ini adalah Google nya File Manager. Ratusan ribu file dan folder anda akan tersa seperti sepuluh jari tangan anda yang tidak bisa sembunyi dari lirikan mata kekasihmu.
Hingga kini ada tiga aplikasi pencarian yang membuat saya kagum dtSearch, Marjaa' Akbar dan Everything Search, kesemuanya hampir mampu mencari tanpa waktu tunggu menampilkan hasilnya, meski jumlahnya ribuan. Terimas kasih bagi para pembuatnya.
Jika anda kurang puas dengan omongan saya, baca saja klaim dari pembuatnya di bawah ini :

"Everything" is an administrative tool that locates files and folders by filename instantly for Windows.

2 Searching
2.1 How do I search for a file or folder?
Type the partial file or folder name into the search edit, the results will appear instantly.
2.2 How do I use boolean operators?
AND is the default boolean operator.
For example, here is how to search for foo and bar: foo bar
To search for either of two search terms, add a | between the terms.
For example, here is how to search for .jpg or .bmp: .jpg | .bmp
To exclude something from the search include a ! at the front of the term.
For example, here is how to search for abc and not 123: abc !123
For example, here is how to search for foo and bar: foo bar
To search for either of two search terms, add a | between the terms.
For example, here is how to search for .jpg or .bmp: .jpg | .bmp
To exclude something from the search include a ! at the front of the term.
For example, here is how to search for abc and not 123: abc !123
2.3 How do I use wildcards?
Using a * in your search will match any number of any type of character.
For example, here is how to search for files and folders that start with e and end with g: e*g
Using a ? in your search will match one character.
For example, here is how to search for files that have a 2 letter file extension: *.??
For example, here is how to search for files and folders that start with e and end with g: e*g
Using a ? in your search will match one character.
For example, here is how to search for files that have a 2 letter file extension: *.??
2.4 How do I use regex?
| | A vertical bar separates alternatives. For example, gray|grey can match "gray" or "grey". |
() | Parentheses are used to define the scope and precedence of the operators (among other uses). For example, gray|grey and gr(a|e)y are equivalent patterns which both describe the set of "gray" and "grey". |
? | The question mark indicates there is zero or one of the preceding element. For example,colou?r matches both "color" and "colour". |
* | The asterisk indicates there are zero or more of the preceding element. For example, ab*cmatches "ac", "abc", "abbc", "abbbc", and so on. |
+ | The plus sign indicates that there is one or more of the preceding element. For example, ab+cmatches "abc", "abbc", "abbbc", and so on, but not "ac". |
. | Matches any single character except newlines (exactly which characters are considered newlines is flavor, character encoding, and platform specific, but it is safe to assume that the line feed character is included). Within POSIX bracket expressions, the dot character matches a literal dot. For example, a.c matches "abc", etc., but [a.c] matches only "a", ".", or "c". |
[ ] | A bracket expression. Matches a single character that is contained within the brackets. For example, [abc] matches "a", "b", or "c". [a-z] specifies a range which matches any lowercase letter from "a" to "z". These forms can be mixed: [abcx-z] matches "a", "b", "c", "x", "y", and "z", as does [a-cx-z] |
[^ ] | Matches a single character that is not contained within the brackets. For example, [^abc]matches any character other than "a", "b", or "c". [^a-z] matches any single character that is not a lowercase letter from "a" to "z". As above, literal characters and ranges can be mixed. |
^ | Matches the starting position within the string. In line-based tools, it matches the starting position of any line. |
$ | Matches the ending position of the string or the position just before a string-ending newline. In line-based tools, it matches the ending position of any line. |
{m,n} | Matches the preceding element at least m and not more than n times. For example, a{3,5}matches only "aaa", "aaaa", and "aaaaa". This is not found in a few, older instances of regular expressions. |
2.5 How do I include spaces in my search?
To include spaces in your search enclose your search in double quotes.
For example, here is how to search for foobar: "foo bar"
For example, here is how to search for foo
2.6 How do I search for a file type?
To search for a file type, type the file extension into the search edit,
ie to search for the mp3 file type, type *.mp3 into the search edit.
To search for more than one type of file type use a | to separate file types,
ie *.bmp|*.jpg will search for files with the extension bmp or jpg.
ie to search for the mp3 file type, type *.mp3 into the search edit.
To search for more than one type of file type use a | to separate file types,
ie *.bmp|*.jpg will search for files with the extension bmp or jpg.
2.7 How do I search for files and folders in a specific location?
To search for files and folders in a specific location include a \ in your search string.
For example, here is how to search for all your avis in a downloads folder: downloads\ .avi
You could alternately enable Match Path in the Search menu and include the location in your search string.
For example, here is how to search for all your avis in a downloads folder with Match Path enabled:downloads .avi
For example, here is how to search for all your avis in a downloads folder: downloads\ .avi
You could alternately enable Match Path in the Search menu and include the location in your search string.
For example, here is how to search for all your avis in a downloads folder with Match Path enabled:downloads .avi
