Reviews for SearchWin
I found that there were 2 things that SearchWin did not handle well or right. First is searching for folders is design wrong. When you search for just folders the search actually searches for path and not the folder. This means that once it fimes a folder with that meats the search parameter you will then get every sub-folder in that folder no matter how many levels of folders you have there. This is for most people useless if all they want are just the folders whose names match the search paremeter. I thought this was very disapointing.
The Second fault I have with this is how it deals with image files. If you want to see what the fime is you have to move the mouse over the file and wait for a popup to appear which didn't always worked. When you move to another file you had to wait even longer for the popup to appear. I found this to be painfully slow and basically useless if you intend to use this for image file or think you can view text files with the popups aswell.
To sum up while the search engine is fast the user interface slows you down losing any advantage of the search speed. Also, when searches don't perform the way you might expect you find you end up getting to many files and folders found and no way specify specific folders or files. Perhaps if the designer didn't redifine bugs into feature and fix them for the next release this could be a really great search engine
