Finding files by their content, at ligthning speed, without prior indexing! The tool will crawl through your directories or drives with high speed. If you have some hundret GB of data and look for any file created within the last month, containing a special combination of phrases, they will be found within less than a minute. If you are able to apply further astrictions (i.e: type of file) the scan may even be finished within seconds. Even if you really have to scan all files withount any astriction like date or type even on a mediocre computer Find-it will process one gigabyte of data per Minute.

Lists of found files are presented as virtual folder, looking similar to the Windows Explorer. Found files may be copied, moved, run, viewed, zipped and handled any way you want to handle them. Lists of found files can be stored for further use. Queries can be stored and repeated any time you want. Lists of found files may be searched for other criteria, exported to html or plain text.... there is merely nothing you can't do.

The integrated viewer is showing the content of all files and highlights the words you were looking for. You may copy and paste citiations or even collect several citiations from different found files within a new document.

If desired, Find-it will run automatically in the background. The program can be 'remote-controlled' by other applications using a script language, predefined queries can be started repeatedly (if desired: hidden) creating lists of found files or even automatically copy or move them.

Sophisticated help will present you smart tooltips for any element of the user interface. This will help you to use the elaborate functions right from the start.

In addition Find-it is able to produce a 'pen drive installation' to be executed from any pen drive on almost any Computer.
