OK, I can confirm CPU usage and context menu integration have been fixed. :up:

I like that Advanced mode retains search terms and the last used fields. However, Instant mode takes a different approach -- it remembers nothing. Even if the user moves from Instant to Advanced and then back, search terms are not remembered. :huh:

To counter this imbalance, Instant mode needs some options. So how about an option to remember last used search terms? Or remember last X search terms? Or maybe even "Remember last search" (ie. search + results)? These are just ideas -- something to consider.

Also, a Bookmarks function would permit frequently used searches to be performed quickly.

kartal, you may want to check out FingerPrint, a 2004 program released by 2BrightSparks.

A utility to see if any files in a directory have been created, deleted, or changed since the last scan. It's useful for checking if a program, e.g. viruses and trojans, has changed your system files (this is similar to such security software as Tripwire). The use of MD5 checksums guarantee detection of file changes. With it's integration with the Windows Task Scheduler, you can automate your scans, e.g. scan your Windows directory every night. FingerPrint can also be used to calculate MD5 values for files and directories, and compare the results, search for files having a particular MD5 value, and find duplicate files.

There are two FingerPrint programs: the normal Windows program and a console program (FingerPrintCL) that can be used from the command prompt to calculate MD5 and CRC32 values for files. See the FingerPrintCL section for information on using the console version.

I was able to find FingerPrint via this link.

High CPU usage is a bug, that is fixed in the latest version 1.11.

Hi Cashper. More good news. :up:

CPU seemed high to me, but I figured I would ask. I was going to post in the FileSearchy forum rather than here, but it appears the forum is no more. It seems you fixed the issue before I could post about it.  :P

Thanks again, Cashper.  8)

I have experimented a bit and see that any content changes are recognized by FileSearchy very quickly. Dare I say instantaneously!

Since I haven't had any desktop search software installed in a long time, I am curious as to what kind of CPU hit would be expected. Here I am seeing regular 50% CPU usage as FileSearchy reads the USN Journal. 

Are other FileSearchy users observing the same or similar CPU usage? Would regular 50% CPU usage be normal and expected?

Great news to hear of these fixes and improvements planned for upcoming FileSearchy releases. :up:  Cashper, a couple more questions...

In the event of more than 100 matches in a file, I have noticed that FileSearchy indicates (in The Matches tab) "Only the first 100 matches are shown". Huh...why that limitation? What if there were 500 matches in a file? Then FileSearchy wouldn't show 400 matches in the Matches tab?

I would also like to ask about a "File/Save Parameters" and "File/Open Parameters" feature. This would function to preserve active fields for future searches. Also, it would help to avoid repetitive data entry (of multiple file type/delimiter configs) each time history is cleared. Settings and tabs are saved, so maybe parameters could be also? :tellme:
