Publisher's Description:
Locate saves names of all files in your hard drives to file database. After that you can locate files. This program works like updatedb and locate in Unix systems. Win32 based locating program also included.
If you install the 3.0 Beta make sure to install the full 2.99 version first (read the readme in the archive you download).
Is that the perfect replacement for Windows' Win+f search? It looks that way!
I didn't test Locate for a long time and it's unbelievable how great it works now! :D
Lots of new options too, I just didn't yet find out
a) how to do searches like *URL.txt;*lol*.jpg (to search for several files in one single search) like they are possible in the Windows search.
b) how to set Locate to 'activate' the first found file when the search is done (like in the Windows search) or maybe even already when the first file is found.
Anyone knows?
