Super Finder

[Roger Johansson]

In W98SE, it runs for me too, but strange.

I did a simple search for a file name in the parent directory. No
result. Then the same search one level down in a folder with that name.
It only found one file, when it should have found maybe 10 files.

Can't explain that, but W98SE find still seems to work fast and accurate.

Okay. I did not actually test it, I just started the program and walked
around its menues. I guess it isn't working in 98se after all.

Curious. No problems with Super Finder on Win98SE here. Finds 1000-th
of text files in deep nested directories on FAT32. Verified the result
with the internal Win98 Search and by <OT> another program </OT>. All
is okay. No problem finding text in files, either. Third test was on
hex-string inside executable files of a specific pattern on FAT16.
Win98 Search has to give up. (No hex search implemented.) Super Finder
result is okay.

Maybe all who encounter problems should check running processes like
antivirus programs and firewalls. One of them might conflict with
Super Finder.

I tried it now, and worked fine in my win98se too.

I compared it to TC's built-in search, and super finder is faster, not
by much but significantly. Where TC takes 15 seconds SF does it in 6
seconds.

That's strange. I normally use the search function of my <OT> favorite
file manager </OT>.

An often overlooked search tool is Power Desk Explorer.


Install the free version of PDE, find the search tool EXE file, copy it,
then uninstall PDE.
