Editors’ Review

Download.com staffSeptember 19, 2014

Although it fulfills its promise of quickly finding any document on your hard drive, Instant Document Search offers few features to make it more compelling than other free options. Its initial indexing process takes a bit too long, although you can speed it up by choosing to have it only look at partial documents, such as the first 20KB, for instance. The search function supports logical operators such as AND and OR, but can't sort results by relevance. The fact it doesn't index e-mail puts it far beyond competitors from Google and Copernic. Instant Document Search works fine, but it's too limited compared to what else is available.

Developer’s Description

By SOW

Create a proprietary document indexation and search for local files.

Instant Document Search is a powerful Google-like search engine that finds local documents (the ones stored in your PC) in a blink of an eye. Unlike other search utilities for Windows, this program maintains and updates its own document index. Rather than having to browse through thousands of files to analyze if they contain a desired keyword or phrase, the program draws the results from its own index and produces instant matches. Supported formats: DOC, RTF, XLS, PPT, HTML, PDF, WPD, WRI, plain text documents and others.
