File Extension Seeker

This on line tool let you query a BIG list of file extensions & corresponding descriptions across various file extensions sources (mainly FILExt & FileInfo, ad the moment, in addition to my own data coming from TrID file identifier data base). I got permission from the above mentioned sites to crawl their pages to keep my data always up to date.

Complex queries can be made on the file extension, but also on the file type description. Keyword match is by whole word, but an asterisk can be used at the start or at the end of a word, to match anything before or after.
So you can very quickly see what can be a .DAA file, for example, or get the list of all filetypes that contain the word 'document' but not 'microso*'.

All the results all clickable and will jump on the corresponding page of the listed website, to gather the whole details that any site can provide.

The layout and some other details are still be worked on, but the basic search functionality is up & running, so I hope it could be useful to someone.



Also, there's an integrated and autodiscoverable Firefox search engine on the page. Just click on the Firefox search engine combo, and select "Add File Extension Seeker" to add it to your search engines list. Then it will be possible to quickly search for a file extension directly from FF search bar.

Bye!

I just added Wikipedia's list of file extensions to the indexed data.

Bye!

Laughing Man:
Nice! I'm always looking up strange file extensions on my computer like .THM. Though if it was possible, do you think you could add a method to find how to open it? Maybe add a google search string with it.
