As computers become more and more advanced, so do file searching utilities. While computers used to contain a few hundred files only ten years ago, now they store upwards of fifty thousands on average. Connect several hundred of these computers and you will understand why network file searching has been a difficult issue. Most professionals agree that today’s network searching utilities are significantly lagging behind technology. Luckily, there is Network Searcher, a powerful new generation searching utility for the local area networks. The program uses improved multithreaded search engine that provides almost instant LAN search results. It searches hundreds or even thousands network computers very close to the speed most folks perform local search at. And, unlike competing search utilities, the program searches through hidden shares and resources, finding types of files other applications are not capable of. In addition, with Network Searcher you can limit your search to subnetworks, by setting the IP range, or apply a number of filters (from file types or extensions to the date of creation). The program does not hog system resources, does not require server to function properly and supports all common file operations, like moving, copying, deleting, renaming, and so on.
Network Searcher uses tree format to display the results and offers a variety of report-building options. In addition to building report in text, HTML or XML formats, the program is capable of reporting the results as WinAmp playlist. And there is a bonus feature – an option to view the list of recently installed programs that can be a lifesaver for any system administrator.
If you are not satisfied with your current network file searching utility, give Network Searcher a try.
It’s 100% free to download.
