This small desktop-search program goes where Windows Find does not, sniffing out files in archives as well as in directory folders. It can search in ZIP, RAR, ACE, CAB, JAR, TAR, GZIP, and ARJ self-extracting archives. In our tests, ZipScan consumed little memory and completed searches quickly. The interface is simple to use, though ugly graphics obscure some options. ZipScan supports command-line searches, but for casual users, the application's wizard provides a more convenient way to search. Simply specify the type of search, the search target, and the filename you're looking for. The program supports wildcard searches, and you can open or drag found files right from the results list. ZipScan could be invaluable for anyone who relies on archive files in a Windows environment.
