我是一个狂热的电脑用户，我的电脑总是塞满文件和数据。尽管我保持所有文件井井有条，并且我依靠改进的Windows 搜索，但有时我仍然会寻找更多功能、速度和准确性。我知道当我们发现Windows 搜索不起作用(Windows search is not working)并且我们错过了计算机系统中的一些重要文件或文档时，这很烦人。最让我烦恼的是我知道我保存了它，但是即使在所有预期的文件夹中搜索它之后我也找不到它。幸运的是，有一些免费的桌面搜索实用程序可以让我们更轻松。
由于这是计算机用户非常普遍的问题，我想讨论一些桌面搜索实用程序。我使用Search Everything作为我的Windows搜索实用程序，但我想在我的帖子中提及更多桌面搜索实用程序。
Windows 搜索替代工具

Windows Search Alternative Tools for Windows 10
I am an avid computer user and my PC is always crammed with files and data. Though І keep аll my files well-ordered and organіzеd and I cоunt on thе improved Windows Searсh, I sоmetimes still look for more feаtures, speed, and accuracy. I know it іѕ very annoying when we find that Windows search is not working and we miss some important files or documents in our computer system. What annoys me the most is that I know I saved it, but I can’t locate it even after searching for it in all expected folders. Fortunately, there are a handful of free desktop search utilities to make it easier for us.
Since it is a very common issue with computer users, I would like to discuss a few desktop search utilities. I am using Search Everything as my Windows search utility but there are a few more desktop search utilities which I would like to mention here in my post.
Windows Search Alternative Tools
Desktop search tools are available in both free as well as a paid version with a variety of shapes and sizes. There are many third-party tools claiming and proved to be better and faster than the Windows search tool. These tools are more functional if compared to Windows built-in search tool.
I have listed 5 Windows Search Alternative Tools for Windows 10/8/7:
- Everything
- MasterSeeker
- Locate 32
- Listary
- FileSeek.
1] Everything
Everything is a free Windows desktop search utility that helps to locate files and folders in your computer system. It is a fast tool and works like no other search tools. You can start using ‘Everything’ right after downloading it on your system. Although it won’t search the contents of your stored files, its accuracy and speed are pretty impressive. Void, the developer of ‘Everything’ recently released the new and updated beta version of the tool for the latest Windows versions. I am using this tool for a long and haven’t found any downsides to Everything. It used less than 1MB of my hard drive space and is always up to date.
You can also go a step further and improve the Windows 10 Search experience with EverythingToolbar, which is an add-on for this software.
2] MasterSeeker
MasterSeeker is another free tool, with some added benefits, not found in every such tool. It works with incredible speed. You can also narrow down your search with Master Seeker using directory, Regex and file size. It scans everything on your hard drives such as directories, system folders, and hidden folders and comes up exactly with what you are looking for. In short, it gives you accurate results in real-time. Like most of other desktop search utilities, Mater Seeker also gives you detailed search results with the file name, file size, and complete path. It starts showing the results as you type a word on the search bar of Master Seeker. Download it here.
3] Locate 32
Locate32 is another free desktop search utility that helps you in searching for a file from the folders stored in a database. Although, it is not that popular as compared to ‘Everything and Master Seeker’, is an impressive desktop search utility. This tool saves your file database and then you can locate any file you want using the search form of the tool. It uses the stored database in the search and provides fast results. Available in many languages Locate 32 supports all Windows versions. Download it here.
4] Listary
Freeware Listary is worth adding in the list of Windows search alternative tools. It works from your own Windows Explorer. What I liked about this tool is that it shows a complete tutorial after download, which helps users to understand the interface well. Similar to other such tools, Listary is a find-as-you-type search tool allowing you to search your files in your Windows computer system. A small search dialogue opens and you can search for a file you want. It works fast and brings multiple matches instantly. The program shows accurate results even if you type a part of the file. Listary is also available as a pro version with some additional features. Download it here.
5] FileSeek
- Open the FileSeek Settings window
- Click the License Key tab
- Click the “Change to Free Version”
- Click Apply.
TIP: Fast File Search , FileSearchy, Lookeen Free, Agent Ransack, AnyTXT Searcher and Quick Search are some other freeware you may want to check out.
If you don’t want to use Windows built-in search tools try out one of the five freeware apps mentioned above. All of these tools vary in format and features but are designed to help you in searching.
I tested out a few more desktop search utilities for Windows but didn’t find them worth including in this list. If you know of any other search tools for Windows which are as fast and as effective as these five, do let us know through comments.
