June 22, 2023 WinFindr version 1.1 released!

WinFindr is an easy to use, yet powerful data searching tool for Windows. WinFindr allows you to search for files, folders, registry keys and registry entries with multiple search terms at the same time.

Have a look: https://winfindr.com/

What’s new in the version 1.1:
*) Dedicated search source input field allows you to define which drives and/or registry root keys to search. Previously this had to be done via the Ignore search terms, which was a bit awkward.
*) Ability to save searches. If you are often running the same searches, simply save it and it can be later run with just one click.
*) Added a Right Click menu option to copy the selected item's path to clipboard.
*) Added a Right Click menu option to save only the selected items to file.
*) The scan progress view now shows how many directories and registry keys have been analyzed, previously only their sum was shown.
*) Added a search progress bar which is visible after the given search source paths have been analyzed already at least one time.
*) The results list now uses the Windows natural sorting algorithm, the same Windows file explorer uses.

    It's better than built in folder search?

    Do you have an initial indexing period?

    1. 1

      I would say it's much better than Windows built-in search. For example, WinFindr contains a ton of features that Windows built-in search doesn't have.

      It doesn't use any indexing, so there is no initial indexing period.

      There are pros and cons in indexing, I decided not to use any.

About

I wanted a tool that was like Everything, but could also search for registry data. And supports dark mode.
