• I feel it's too easy to receive inaccurate results.

  Pros

  Professional screen design and easy to use.

  Cons

  I feel I too often received incorrect or incomplete results.

  Summary

  1) Don't use * as in XP search. At the beginning or end of a search argument, leave blanks; 2) An * within the search argument brings UNpredictable results. ONE blank space is more reliable (perhaps fully reliable) WHEN YOU CHOOSE the "all the words" search option. 3)IMPORTANT: If you have selected "all the words" search option and you receive a program message saying that your search must be processed as a "regular expression" instead, CANCEL THAT MESSAGE. DON'T click "ok". Then YOU click the "regular expression" option and start the search. The program itself did NOT supply valid data for me. I did not receive the correct search results when I clicked "ok". 4) Cannot see underscores as a part of file names in the search results field. 5)Most error messages are for programmers only. No user guidance here.
