Locate your documents with unparalleled precision

We are particularly proud of Omni-finder, the search engine within xplorer². Not only will it search for the usual filenames, contained text etc, but it can use all pieces of file information xplorer² can show in its detailed view as search rules [1]. You can search within file comments, picture data, attributes, keywords, practically all shell column handlers supported by your windows OS. Filenames can be fuzzy and text searches support regular expressions.
 

The sample snapshot shows the results of a search that looked for text both inside files and matching some particular keywords. If you have a lot of files you'll appreciate the increased precision these extra search conditions allow you. The search results are shown in so called scrap containers, which act like virtual folders. Notice that the quickviewer shows the target text in all matching files [2]. You can work with the search results straight away since scrap containers are fully fledged file managers. If an initial search has brought up too many results you can search locally (i.e. refine a previous search) for fewer, more relevant documents.

Ask yourself whether google desktop search can do such tricks for you...
