Rick,

I forgot to mention that Copernic Search indexes everything when the computer is idle so searches are extremely fast, since it just searches it's own index.

Rick, This is not a command line program but it does what you want and very well. I have been using it for years. Copernic Desktop Search http://www.copernic.com/en/products/desktop-search/features/ There is a free 30 day trial version so you have nothing to loose by ...

... access to documents during the meeting. With a hard disk you can store all your documents on it and with some good indexing lookup software (like Copernic), you could find any document in seconds. This is just one use. Also, it has 2 USB ports. This would allow you to get broadband cellular access ...

... 130 prgs is a nightmare. Well, I don't disagree. However, I have recently been working on an application that I didn't write that is 104 PRGs, and Copernic has been extremely helpful. It would take me 10-100 times as long without Copernic. I highly recommend it (and I am not easily impressed). ...

Harvey, >Jmaes: >130 prgs. Big job. You need Copernic Desktip Search. Its global searches are very fast and you can preview each find on the screen without opening an editor. I can seach my entire hard disk in about 2 seconds. Ironically, it ...

... It is hard to complain about the help files not being up to date, when problems are fixed and new features added at such a fast rate. I also use Copernic Desktop Search a lot. I can find anything in my source or FWH source in a few seconds. I can't live without it. http://www.coperneic.com Regards, ...

Otto,

Hello James, I too use Copernic Desktop Search. But most times you get too much results back. I must be honest. I rewrote my ECR software in VB because of the limitations listbox had. All the work and money (TrueDbGrid from ComponentOne, ...

... the comments we could eliminate the database and use fivedemo or a similar program that searches the PRGs for a keyword. What I use now instead is Copernic Desktop Search. This will find any PRG with any specified keyword in a second or two. A double-click on the file will load it into my editor ...

... my disk, only a fraction of them are indexed. Enrico, as I expect you know, I am a big skeptic. I don't find much software that impresses me, but Copernic's Desktop Search is one of those that does. I encourge you to try it before you dismiss it as not useful. Since it is free, you only have a ...

None of the other solutions are as fast as Copernic. I just did a search and found 3 files out of the over 350,000 files on my hard disk, in less than a second.

Indexed searching is the only way to go.

... as fast as you can type the search word. You can then list the files by folder or date. Nice. I highly recommend this program. And it is free! Copernic Desktop Search 2.0 wwww.copernic.com Regards, James
