    "Excellent search with simple interface"

    Posted 2023-10-13

    Pros: I like how FileSearchEX offers a fairly simple interface that meets most of what you need to find a folder or file. The results come up quick enough.

    Cons: Would be nice if it could search other remote locations outside of the PC/network infrastructure. Searching the registry would be nice. Would be good to show you more precisely where in a file it found your search term.

    Overall: Good search tool for the most common needs. Gets the job done without being too technical. Feels very native to the operating system itself.
