Find And Run Robot / Re: Latest FARR Release v2.107.04 beta - Sep 23, 2012

Thanks for the tip.

I'm not as worried about having an index, mind you, as I was with just finding out of FARR used one or not.  I sort of like that it doesn't use one, because I know I'm always dealing with live data.  Don't need to worry about refreshing the index if I install a new program or whatnot.

Bottom line is: I don't really FARR to index, as I use it for, well, running stuff.  *chuckle*  I really only point it at my desktop, my start menu, and one other folder that I keep some odds and ends in.  I use Windows Desktop Search if I actually want to find a document of some sort, since it indexes and searches the contents of files.  In my book, they are two entirely different concepts.  One is an in depth search, and one is a "get my app started as fast as possible without any fuss" program.

Just a quick comment.  I used Launchy for quite some time, without even knowing that FARR existed.  Having found it last week, it has instantly replaced Launchy.  It is so unbelievably superior that it's not even worth discussing.  At all.  Seriously.

Got a couple questions and comments.  First off, I haven't run into any problems since installing the latest beta.  I haven't exactly been stressing it to the breaking point, though.  I'll try harder.

Second - And I may have simply not noticed this feature, so pardon me if I'm just being dumb - But, is there a way to tell FARR to completely ignore a certain filetype extension?  I know you can lower a particular extension's weight, which more or less does the same thing if you make the negative value high enough, so maybe it's a waste of time to implement this suggestion.  But, if there was a right-click contextual menu entry that said "ignore this filetype extension" or something of that nature, it would be handy.

Third, and this is just a question on mechanics - Does FARR create an index like Launchy and Key Launch.  (Key Launch can be found here: http://www.konradp.c...erline_app=keylaunch but it's definitely not as good as FARR)

And lastly, I agree with Arsan's above comment - Although I have never actually used anything other than the current beta of FARR, I do like the idea of being able to see multiple columns as his image depicts, because sometimes I'm looking for an app or document that has a very similar name to others.

Anyhow, great product, light years ahead of everything else in my opinion.
