Locate 3.0 - great *FAST* HD search tool!
jmj:
There is one feature I have been wanting for a long time, but have never taken the time to speak up about it. It would be quite helpful if the main search window (Name & Location) had a 4th dialog box below "Look In:" Essentially what it would do is, whatever you type into that box is like a live filter of any search results that have been returned to you. So it, wouldn't take up any processing power or run in the background, but as you type characters into that box it filters down the search results that were returned to you. That way if i knew I was looking for a text file, but not sure which exactly, and had a bunch a different combinations to search, I could just search .txt, then, saving myself alot of searches and leaving every possible file I'm looking for (.txt) in front of me, I could continuously try different typed combinations to narrow down my results (and they narrow as i type in that box), just without having to execute more searches.

If "display result as you type" feature, isn't this just a second way to do same?

Given the right search parameters, I would imagine you could accomplish this. But I would be one that would prefer to keep the live indexing turned off if at all possible, thats all.

I just want to give more praise to this awesome little program. I was speaking with Janne (author of Locate32) via email and asked if there was a way to donate, Janne said no one has ever donated or made the effort. This is unheard of as far as I'm concerned. So, Janne added a donation link (paypal) to the Main page (http://locate32.webhop.org/) in the upper left corner. I sent a little dough and encourage others to do the same if you find this program makes your life a little easier and have some spare change to throw around. The fact that Locate32 continues to evolve and suggestions are actually considered is especially nice, given much of the software I've paid for doesnt do as well. Thanks again. -vegas

I have also got a couple of DonationCredits from members here which is laudable.
