Clearing the launch history wouldn't have anything to do with this. All the items that I have launched (and are in the history), are in fact ones I want to appear. It is the ones I would never launch, that I'd like taken out of the results--specifically, documents (like I said I use Google Desktop search for that). I have never launched from FARR, a document, and yet my searches always end up with documents at the top, and I can't find even folders that I have launched in the past, in the results.

At any rate, in a year or so I'll come back to this and check out the release notes for subsequent versions. I have tried looking all over for alternatives to Launchy, and this is the only one that was faster than it, that did what Launchy does.

Appreciate your quick response, but it didn't work. I uninstalled it, rebooted, reinstalled but obviously the database didn't get removed, because even though I unchecked every option but the two you highlighted, the same problem remained--a search for a folder returned many files that had similar names.

How can I remove all traces of this program, and then reinstall? Or better, simply to have FARR reindex? I'm sure there is a button that allows this, but I did look through each of the options windows and didn't see a way.

Is there a way to configure FARR to only provide (1) files in My Docs and (2) start menu apps in its results?

I already have Google Desktop Search for documents and am quite happy with it.

FARR is blazing fast but I hate having to pick through files that I don't want to open up.
