DocFetcher is a user-friendly desktop search software used to find content stored on your computer.
DocFetcher is an outstanding desktop search tool, which is designed specifically to create index files to perform rapid searches for specific documents based on particular keywords. It is essentially your personal Google for your local document repository. When working with DocFetcher, there are several features that you could find useful to locate particular documents, which are discussed below.
To start using this software, you need to create an index. Simply, right-click on the “Search Scope” area located on the left panel and choose the “Create…” option. Pick a folder that you want to index. It is recommended to select a small folder with fewer files, for example, a 50-file folder will work fine. It is also possible to drag a directory from your file manager and drop it on the “Search Scope” area to start indexing it.
Once the indexing process is complete, you can perform your search. Type your search string in the text box located at the top, then press “Enter”. Every time you perform a search, a new result tab is opened, which is grouped into pages similar to Google. You can navigate through the pages using the controls on the top right.
Moreover, you can filter or sort your results quickly. The minimum and maximum file size filter allows you to filter out items below the minimum or above the maximum value. Also, it is possible to filter out specific file types or files in specific folders by checking or unchecking options in the “Filetypes” and “Search Scope” area. By clicking on the column headers of the result list, you can sort the entire list based on the selected criterion.
Once you find the document you are looking for, just double-click the item to open it. Additionally, if you add, remove, or modify documents in your document repository, DocFetcher will automatically update the indexes if the application is running. If the app is not running, you must select “Update” from the “Search Scope” context menu the next time you run it to obtain the most recent search results.

Its indexing feature makes it surprisingly fast for specific searches, and the filtering and sorting options allow users to find the document they are looking for quickly.
