Hi, all!

I would like to announce my new software: FileSearchy.
Program homepage: http://www.filesearchy.com/
Download URL: http://www.filesearchy.com/download/filesearchy.exe

Key features:

* Instant search by file name.
* Search by file file contents, size and date.
* Supports search inside PDF, Office and other documents (e.g. PDF, RTF, DOC, XLS, PPT, DOCX, XLSX, PPTX etc).
* Highlights found text in file names and contents.
* Clean and intuitive multi-tabbed user interface.




Please let me know what do you think of it.
This is a first release and a beta, so might have a lot of bugs. Please let me know of them.

Stoic Joker:
Sounds perfect, and doesn't require any runtime crap, but... Why is it triggering a UAC prompt? That strikes me as rather bad form for something that shouldn't need admin rights.

Cashper:
It needs an access to MFT and NTFS change journal in order to read and maintain list of all files.

Hm... Well I imagine that could be a dicey hair to split, but the requirement does rather hamper the programs usage in user land on business networks where most people don't have access to an admin account.

Cashper:
I hope that most Windows users do have admin rights.
As for non-admin users, technically it is possible to bypass UAC, for example, by installing a service (permissions are needed only on install in this case).
But it will not take into account file permissions and will search through all files.
