Used an old version of Copernic Desktop Search -- loved it. Paid for an upgrade (Ha, ha!) to 4.X CDS. Received "benefit" of it being an incredible resource (and disk hog), having my old search patterns unsupported (e.g., "dir_getFiles" is always parsed by CDS as "dir" AND "getFiles"), long lag time on opening the search window before I can enter parameters.
The old CDS was a great way to find code snippets I vaguely remembered. The new CDS is marginally useful for that.
UltraFileSearch (http://www.ultrafilesearch.com/) works great for me, as does Windows Grep (http://www.wingrep.com/).
I will definitely try out Agent Ransack!

I just use Cygwin grep. It doesn't skip files like MS's search does, it works recursively, and it doesn't require that a massive database be kept up to date all the time. Trouble is, it can only find strings of text and doesn't understand the formatting of the content -- it completely misses words that have formatting inserted in the middle of them. That limitation hasn't yet been a problem for me.
We can program with only 1's, but if all you've got are zeros, you've got nothing.

Take a look at findstr. It's a far more powerful search engine for the Windows command line. Another free search engine I use is Notepad++, which has a find in files feature and puts the results into an editor window that allows you to click to open the files.

You want to try Voidtools Everything, free, portable and requires no indexing. People who say they remember where they put things instead of searching basically have not tried Everything yet. I am OCD about file organization and have no trouble recalling where I put things but if a simple and fast tool like Everything allows me to get to a file more quickly than endlessly clicking to the bottom of a deep directory structure, the search tool wins. In fact, Everything is not a file search tool at all, but rather a list of your files and folders which it then filters to display only matching files. It supports regex queries and it's great for performing batch operations e.g. delete all thumbs.db files on all drives in one go. PS Download latest beta, it's not been updated for moths but it's very stable.

For discs or groups of directories where I have to search for stuff often, I use a "media cataloging tool" called Cathy (from here[^]), which I particularly like because (apart from its giving instant results) you can add multiple discs/dirs to its "catalog", and it searches all their content in one operation.
I wanna be a eunuchs developer! Pass me a bread knife!

Personally, I’ve found the best tool for desktop search is Everything by David Carpenter. You can find it on the voidtools website. http://www.voidtools.com[^]
It’s excellent, has shortcuts for various types of searches, supports regex and is super fast, and extremely small and doesn’t try to sell you advertising.

Justice or the law what is more important?

Why have I know got this ditty stuck in my head?
Dredd is the law and the law won, Dredd is the law and the law won...
What is done cannot be undone, arrrrrrrrr!
Have you ever just looked at someone and knew the wheel was turning but the hamster was dead?
Trying to understand the behavior of some people is like trying to smell the color 9.

They both go hand in hand.
BTW justice is - conformity to the law; legal validity. Without law, there is no justice

So...is it justice that a rich person can buy a decision by affording expensive lawyers? (OJ Simpson, Strauss-Kahn, ...) Or by just paying to get out of court (Bernie Ecclestone, ...)
Law is not the same as justice: the law of many countries lets the guilty go free, or with a "slap on the wrist" when they deserve better justice.

Agree with you. Though the law is like a rule which is applicable to every single person but in reality the justice does not go with it. Yes in today's world a rich does what you say.

Except of course justice is subjective. What is justice for one is injustice for another.
The law of course is dependent upon humans so it cannot and will not be perfect.

Wow, we have an amazingly uninformed group here this morning! By your reasoning, keeping black slaves in the US was entirely just, since the law said so. Imprisoning, starving, and beating American Indian children in the Indian Schools was just, as was stealing their parents' homelands and moving them off into arid, barren reservations, because the law said it was okay. Murdering women for the crime of being raped in the Middle East is just, because that's the law.
I've been through several law classes, and the first thing any law teacher tells a class is, don't ever confuse law with justice. One will rarely find both in a court room.

Yes there were several injustice in the event you said. I believe the laws were altered over the time when corrections required or it's not right. On the other hand, the Justice depending on situations too and can over come the law in some cases. It's just my thought.

When one looks back one must look back at the entirety. Ignoring the entirety when examining the specific probably is not "just" no more so than a court that refuses to consider any mitigating circumstances.
Roger Wright wrote: and beating American Indian children in the Indian Schools
This of course is just one example of where one should at least consider the entirety. Beatings in school in many forms occurred in most if not all US schools for much of the US history. So to examine the justice in this case one would need to find comparable examples, look at the reasons for the discipline and determine if the discipline was extreme or comparable for the time. It is not sufficient to show for example that such students were beaten for something like using native american languages in classroom unless one can show that children in other parts of the nation were not beaten for similar transgressions.
Also one must consider that at least at one time even in the US even in the work place one might be beaten. Additionally even now there are states that do not ban corporal punishment in schools. In 2006 there were over 200,000 students who were subjected to corporal punishment in the US. (Although to be fair given the goal of the link below it is possible that the numbers might be less than authentic but I would suspect that it is still not zero.)

Ah, no.
Justice existed before the advent of civilization and law.
Law was meant to codify justice, but that has become perverted.
