Geek Software of the Week: Voidtools “Everything!”
Windows search got you down? Can’t find that file that you KNOW is there? Use “Everything!”

“Everything” is an administrative tool that locates files and folders by filename instantly for Windows.
Unlike Windows search “Everything” initially displays every file and folder on your computer (hence the name “Everything”).
You type in a search filter to limit what files and folders are displayed.
“Everything” only uses file and folder names and generally takes a few seconds to build its database.
A fresh install of Windows XP SP2 (about 20,000 files) will take about 1 second to index.
1,000,000 files will take about 1 minute.
“Everything” does not search file contents, only file and folder names.
