Good Program For Finding Text etc On Your Hard Drive

[Guest guest]

Especially for those of you who save lots of medically related documents

etc of interest that they find on the internet and elsewhere but then

have trouble going back later and finding a particular document or

documents, I came across what looks to be a great program recently to help.

It basically indexes all text, .doc, .pdf, .html etc documents on your

hard drives and allows you to do almost instantaneous searches on

particular words. The results are presented in a very similar manner

to that Google uses on the web, allowing you to link DIRECTLY to the

document in question i.e. you don't have to then go back into Explorer

to find your way to it.

For Windows XP and 2000, it is called Filehand Search and best of all

it's FREE. I have run Spybot and Ad-Aware against it and it doesn't

seem to contain any spyware or viruses (I have had it installed for 3

weeks and automatically receive Norton anti-virus updates most days).

It is not perfect but for those of us who have problems finding where we

saved a particular snippet it could be a godsend.

See www.filehand.com for more details and free download.

PS I have absolutely no connection with the author(s?), it's just I

could see a lot of people finding it very useful. :-)
