I need a search software that does not index, searches mp3, email, video, txt...
kartal:
Darwin thanks for the heads up. I actually downloaded and used the trial version but I was not impressed with it, especially because trial version did not have any of the pro features really. And all the free explorer replacements have those feature sets in powerdesk pro`s. So I am little puzzled about it. I may give it another shot.
DonL:
I wouldn't be altogether surprised if there's some seriously FUBAR app out there that take upwards of three weeks to index. ;)
xyplorer can only search files, not emails or contacts :(

Not this time. Emails or contacts are not "filish" enough for a "real" file manager. ;) However you can drag+drop emails to XY and then search them.
Darwin:
Hmm... interesting, Dormouse. Dopus, XYPlorer, PowerDesk, and SearchGT each take about 5 seconds (actually 5 secs for XY and DOpus through 7 on SearchGT and 9 seconds for PowerDesk) on my system to search 70GB.

My version of PowerDesk Pro is 6.0.4.2 © 1998-2005
- Any newer ones? :tellme:
Edit:
Maybe 'someone' will download the supposedly new trial and tell what version's number it is? :tellme: -Curt (March 16, 2008, 01:49 PM)

Dormouse:
Search of 306db data across 2 HD (376,952 files)
Search 3 was a repeat of Search 1.
Google Desktop Search averaged about 7 seconds for all the searches, but also produced a lot of files that were non-files (like HTML caches)
SearchGT seemed to get progressively faster as I kept searching for new words, but to drop back to longer if not used for a while.
SearchGT dramatically faster than XYplorer and Dopus
