search files folders by name in Windows 2000, XP, 2003, Vista, 2008 and Windows 7

search files folders by name in Windows


search files folders by name in Windows instantly on key strokes for your files and folders by name? 




We can search for a file in windows using windows search or google desktop, However these search for a long time and list out lot of files to go through.

Here is a simple tool called Everything which searches for a file or folder immediately once you key in the partial name of it.

This is a simple tool whose interface is clean and doesn't take much space or CPU usage when compared to other utilities like google desktop and windows search.


You just need to key in the partial name that you remember of the file or folder that you are searching for, Everything instantly searches files and folders with the name keyed in by the user.

However you need to remember partial name of the file or folder to get the best search results and note that this Everything tool doesn't search the content of a file, it searches only based on the name of folder or file.

To conclude this search tool for files and folders by name also works in Windows 8 though Everything doesn't say so in their website :)
