yes this is true, but i think the first thing would be to have a good help file (very good ?),
but let's not forget FARR is pretty much one man's work, and it is freeware ... so i will not complain-nitrix-ud (May 21, 2008, 01:23 PM)
but as Perry Mowbray points out, it now has a large community of enthusiastic users. Much of the material on FARR is still in the forum and doesn't seem to have made it to an integrated help/tutorial, so given that nobody likes writing help files/documentation, Perry Mowbray's suggestion of a wiki makes sense.Yeah, Windows 9x can use up to .NET Framework 2.0.-Lashiec (May 21, 2008, 10:05 AM)
i suspect that not many FARR users really use its power, how many uses dosearch commands ?, noresults ?, restartsearch to build menus ?, advanced hotkeys ?, aliases with complex regex mask ?, command-line switches, dosearch switches)-nitrix-ud (May 21, 2008, 10:15 AM)
it is a fact that i installed launchy more than FARR (on other people's computer), just because in 2 minutes you've got something working, nice, slick which does the work when it comes to search the start menu...
suggestion: to make farr more popular. make an idiots version. give it a 'friendly' web2.0 like name, e.g. tapr, typr, runr, ushr, impulse, blah, blah, blah.-nudone (May 21, 2008, 09:49 AM)
So, which program did he rip off this time?-Curt (May 20, 2008, 04:58 PM)

System Requirements:

thanks for the nice example rj, i might put that in the help file if you don't mind-mouser (May 20, 2008, 11:59 AM)
user tools ~ are they still available?-oldHacker (May 19, 2008, 01:26 PM)
Really nice job sri-mouser (May 12, 2008, 08:47 AM)
I want it to say the full date like "5-5-2008" instead where it says "Monday"-Edvard (May 05, 2008, 01:09 PM)
what we really want is a simple "plain text" organzier.-xbeta (May 12, 2008, 07:22 AM)
support utf-8.
I was checking out baregreppro and it looks like it would be great for this purpose, I just need to have all my various files in txt format and in the same directory.-sabot7726 (May 11, 2008, 05:15 PM)
But I repeat, you might like to try AZZ Cardfile as it looks to be fast and appropriate for your situation, that is, all the features you need but still easy to use in a hurry.If I could wave a magic wand I'd create something like FARR or nDroid but made to scan a couple files of info and return matching lines rather than various directories returning matching files.
I keep meaning to write this plugin for FARR or encourage someone else to write it. A simple text-file information lookup plugin would be so useful and simple. It's long overdue.-mouser (May 09, 2008, 10:56 AM)
I've been daydreaming of a simple, yet extremely efficient application that can allow me to put all this info at my fingertips but so far all the PIM and Address book software I've been trying out are *way* too overpowered for what I'm looking for.-sabot7726 (May 08, 2008, 05:15 PM)
For me ZTreeWin is not a memory, but a daily reality--you could hardly find my PC without at least one instance of it running, and I'm carrying it with me everywhere, otherwise I'd feel lost.-yksyks (May 06, 2008, 11:03 AM)
In the olden days, I liked xtree best.-cathodera (May 05, 2008, 05:36 AM)

you never know someone *might* just buy an images one day-iphigenie (April 12, 2008, 03:04 AM)
contributing members of the site - they are the only ones that get licenses unless Mouser is feeling generous and has had a conversation with someone - they are then an honorary member so they would have access too.-Carol Haynes (February 29, 2008, 10:25 AM)

This has a very handy "context lines" search option. There you can set how many lines will be shown above and below the search result.-Shades (April 27, 2008, 06:39 PM)
has "show hits in context," also simple highlighting, viz.: Doh! I was/am talking about the Pro version-Darwin (April 27, 2008, 04:26 PM)
That prompted me to go looking - it's there in Preferences -> Options, "Hide splash screen at start up."URL validation is nice, but what was meant was a way of tracking changes in Web pages, not whether their URLs still existed. As I said, I prefer to have those functions in separate programs.-rjbull
Page changes tracking is a part of Linkman URL validation. Linkman announces every page that has changed (and by that I mean the content, not just the URL) since your last validation by underlining the link name.-Outertech Support (April 25, 2008, 03:36 AM)
