    Find files fast. However, they seems to not update this product for many years. And the support is a nightmare(absolutely no support!!). For someone like me ,Instant File Find is a alternative. It's similar to avafind. However, both are excellent.

    I have used the free download of AvaFind for several years. It is one of the most useful and trouble-free programs I have ever used. Its purpose is very simple: it finds files on my computer. But it does so very easily and accurately. I hit Shift-Esc from anywhere, and its window pops up. I type in the name of the file I am looking for, and it finds it. I double-click on the file's name, and it opens. Very easy!

    The search feature allows me to use multiple wildcards. For example, a search for "simon*bridge*water" brings up the file that I have named "Simon & Garfunkel--Bridge Over Troubled Water.mp3." The relevant webpage describes other advanced and wildcard search options.

    The search engine does not search for file contents. For instance, a search for "Uncle Henry" will not bring up the file named "Letter to Aunt Sally.doc" in which the words "Uncle Henry" appear; that search will bring up only those files that have "Uncle Henry" in their filename. Thus, this search will not find files that Google Desktop would find.

    One advantage of this approach is that AvaFind is updated much more quickly than Google Desktop (GD). If I have moved a bunch of files and now want to delete the empty folder, GD will not let me; it will have locked the folder until it can finish moving. GD is constantly improving, unlike AvaFind, which has not been updated since 2003. But GD still imposes a burden on my computer, as it does its searching, whereas I never notice any slowdowns from AvaFind as it indexes my files. Both programs' indexes sometimes require a manual instruction compelling them to re-index the drive, but AvaFind's simpler re-indexing is done within minutes, not hours. Usually, the filename contains the information I am searching for, so I rarely need GD; and AvaFind is much faster to call up and use, so I always prefer it over GD.

    AvaFind allows me to block folders that I do not want to search. That can include program directories as well as folders in which, for some reason, I have temporarily stored backups or duplicates of the files that I want to use and update. The professional version of AvaFind ($39.95) lets you perform various Windows Explorer functions on the files you find -- except that, sadly, it no longer appears possible to upgrade to the professional version. I once sent them an e-mail suggesting that they lower the price, because I did not think that I or other users would be prepared to spend so much for a single-purpose utility, but I never got a reply.

    Nonetheless, the freeware version of AvaFind is powerful and has been incredibly useful for me, right on up through Windows XP, my current operating system, and I highly recommend it.
