This software functions as a fast document search tool that operates like a web search engine on your hard drive. Its features include creating search zones, displaying instant results when entering keywords, listing documents in a browser style, and allowing configuration for many European languages.
The Sleuthhound is a Personal Document Search Tool that operates like a web search engine on your hard drive. It is an easy-to-use program that is perfect for those who want to search for specific files or documents on their computer. The program allows you to create 'Search Zones' with a 1-2-3 wizard, making it easy to select folders and directories to include in the search. This function also allows users to automatically update search zones with saved folders or entire drives.
Searches can be done by keyword (one, several, many), file path or dates. The program also supports Boolean searches and the use of wildcards. Once a search is performed, keywords are returned instantly with the location of the document, document title, file-path, icon, folder location, and keyword context.
Results are displayed in an internal browser which allows users to view multiple occurrences of search words in the results browser. An advance keyword occurrence feature is also available in the internal viewer. One-click opening of documents in the associated application and easy maintenance and update of search zones is available through a built-in scheduler. Users can also set the program to update search zones automatically when Windows starts by placing The Sleuthhound in the Start-Up group.
The Sleuthhound has a simple to use interface. Specify the Search Zone with targeted folders for search, enter the keyword and clicking "Find it" produces an instant keyword result and the located documents in the browser. The program can be configured to use many European languages, and the results browser and new copy text functions are configurable. The save search option and favourite searches added make it even easier to search for the same key phrase repeatedly.
The shareware version of The Sleuthhound returns searches for TXT, HTM, HTML and MS Word documents and Outlook Express mail folders. Users can upgrade to the Professional version to obtain further document search capacity via plug-ins. The Pro version will search for RTF, ANSI and ASCI text, and many other document-type files via universal converter. Additional plug-ins for the PRO version support WordPerfect, Adobe PDF, Excel, PowerPoint, MP3, MHT and Extended HTML file types.
All result displays are configurable. The program can be configured to search many European languages and display results with all accented characters. Overall, The Sleuthhound is a great software program for anyone who wants to quickly and easily search for documents on their computer.
