AFSearch 9.55

CNET editors' review

Reviewed by: CNET Staff

This program searches your hard drive, LAN, or CD-ROM for documents. You can configure the file size, extension, and other similar features. AFSearch lets you password-protect the index in the main menu. The trial version shows only eight results, though, and it searches only for certain file types. In our testing, the functionality didn't beat the built-in search functions of Windows, and the interface was brusque to the point of being opaque. If you're not satisfied with Windows search, however, AFSearch might be worth a try.

Publisher's description

From FAICO Information Solutions :

This index-based, local-keyword search engine indexes text and HTML files stored in specific directories and runs directly from your PC or a CD-ROM. AFSearch enables users to perform fast, powerful, Boolean-supported keyword searches any time to easily locate needed documents, with keywords highlighted. It comes with a built-in browser and support for multiple languages, and can index file types including RTF, DOC, and PDF. You may set conditions to easily exclude files and folders from indexing. The program supports multiple index files so you can easily toggle among sets of indexed files.

Version 9.55 enhances CD publishing too, and improves support for PDF files.
