PC Data Finder 5.5

Summary: Unbelievably fast!
Review: This is a great piece of software. For my work, I need to constantly search huge archives of back issues of my newsletter and other Word and PDF files. Windows' search tool is really lousy and it crashes a lot, so I was desperate to get something functional. Then I downloaded the trial version of this software and was shocked by its speed and precision. It indexes just about every kind of file and once the indexing is done, it takes literally 2 seconds to search a huge archive using simple or very complex search criteria.
I think this is the most useful tool that any pc user could have on their machine. I have tried many others before, but none do much more than just search Word and text files.
But as I said this one is lightening fast with PDF files too!
I very highly recommend this software.

Summary: This is the best. A utility that every computer user needs
Review: This utility which can catalog all your files, or just the files you want catalogued if you need to quickly access your documents on your hard drive for example *.doc (Word) and *.wpd (Word Perfect) files only. This is an invaluable tool. It is easy to use, and provides almost instant access to the file you are seeking. You need only type in one idiocyncratic or unusual word to narrow the search, for example, if you have an article abou food and you used an unusual iningredient such as cilantro, when you type in the word cilantro every file with that word and the location of the file is listed and by right clicking on the mouse you can view the file. It has greatly simplified my use of the computer.
