Get instant search results for files and Outlook email on your computer for free with software that displays results ordered by relevance and includes scrollable extracts. Switch to alternative list view options to easily sort through files by name, date, and more. Organize different search projects using tabs.

Filehand Search offers two interface styles – the web view or list view – so you can choose the one that suits you best. In addition, you can scroll and search through extracts in the results to find the information you're looking for without even having to open the file, or you can click to open the file directly.
This program also offers two input forms to enter Boolean queries – a simple form and an advanced form – making it easy for beginners and experts alike. Results are shown sorted by relevance or, in the list view, you can sort them by file name, date, size, etc. You can also use tabs to set up different search projects and easily multi-task among them.
Filehand Search is a unique combination of easy-to-use features and advanced options for even the most demanding desktop search users. It works by indexing the folders you select with its own friendly indexing system, not the harsh indexer used by Windows which can slow down your computer.
In addition, Filehand Search respects you and your computer, and will not affect any other application. It can index up to 1 million files, including Outlook email and contacts, PDFs, Word, PowerPoint, Excel, WordPerfect, HTML/MHT, MP3, and zip archives.
Eliminate the frustration of searching for files yourself and make your computer usage more productive with Filehand Search. Try it for free and see for yourself!
