| 1394591 | 2015-02-18 22:57:00 | To elaborate a bit, what I really want is portable app that doesnt use a database & searches/shows hidden & system files. That way I can just run it off my USB & not have to wait for indexing on a one-off search. I dont really mind if a search takes 5 minutes, Bring back the old XP style search function :-) I'll also try some of the recommendations from Makeuseoff & http://alternativeto.net/ Cheers |

| 1394594 | 2015-02-19 01:05:00 | I think have a winner for a portable (non installing) search tool. Something I can run off a USB. Of course there is no right click & search, but it will show system/hidden files, and I can delete from within the search. UltraFileSearch Lite Portable www.ultrafilesearch.com |
