Locate32

Fast file and folder name search for Windows using indexed databases.

Visit Locate32

Locate32 finds files and directories based on file and folder names stored in a database. It saves to a database the names of all files on your hard drives. Once the file indexing has occurred, you can locate files quickly by using the application's search form. It works like 'updatedb' and 'locate' commands in Unix. The software includes a dialog-based application as well as console programs that can be used to update and access the databases. It is not primarily meant to find text or data within files, but it has a primitive feature to do this. Supported operating systems: Windows 98/ME/NT4/2000/XP/Vista/7.
