Locate 3.0 - great *FAST* HD search tool!
brotherS:
"Rainy Day" color scheme, not windows theme, sorry :) (ie, desktop properties -> apperance tab -> color scheme dropdown).

Ah... :)
It's called slate here - and it matches the color perfectly:
f0dder:
Ah doh, slate and rainy day look pretty much alike :)

Having removed both desktop search apps I had installed on my system, I've come to rely on Veign's Seeker to find stray or lost files. It's fast, easy, and leaves my computer alone when I'm not using it.

Veign,
Give Seeker a try and tell me what you think..
* Regular expression support

Regexps are nice, but I'd prefer Boolean searches for extracting information from files. Also, I often want to make lists of files for use in other processes; can it save its "hit lists?"

There are four reporting modes for search / replace results. Two of them are text-file based which can be saved and printed.
Also, there is now support for looking inside of Word and Excel files (Excel search will report what sheet and cells the search items had been found).
The application was created out of need for a fast and easy to use search and replace tool. I wanted something I could tweak to be exactly what I need.
Should also add its Donationware to follow the spirit of this website...

Err... did you even try Locate for a day or three? It's a *totally* different approach, you can't really compare those two programs.
If you like Seeker, what about posting a Seeker Mini-Review? :)
