Review by Jerome Johnston (Cybersecurity Editor)

on 08 Feb 2012

The fact that computers become more and more powerful as time goes by is already a well-known fact. What interests me is the fact that the storage capabilities of the modern computer are already pretty high up there and keep on rising. Even a small USB stick nowadays can store gigabits of info – something we only dreamt about some years ago.

With so much storage space at you disposal, you might find yourself misplacing documents. When that happens, you will need a properly good search utility to help you find whatever you’re looking for. FileLocator Pro is the search utility you’ve been looking for. It exhaustively goes through all the data stored on your machine, no matter how big or small, to help you locate the thing you’re looking for. It will go through Office documents, PDFs, OpenOffice docs, ZIP and RAR archives in no time at all.

The program is very easy to install and can run on most versions of Windows without problems. It takes up about 10 MB of hard disk space.

The interface of FileLocator Pro seems a bit crowded because of the large number of options, but in fact it's very simple to use. Say for example that you want to look for a Word document that you cannot locate anymore. If you can remember how that document was called, you could type its name in FileLocator Pro and it will swiftly locate it for you. You need not sweat if you cannot remember the document’s name. FileLocator Pro has a powerful feature that allows it to search within documents, archives and so on. As long as you can remember what that document was about, you can find it. Let’s assume the Word document is about software applications – in the “Containing text” area, type “software applications” and FileLocator Pro will search through all the files on your computer that contain the text “software applications.”

Pros

It includes a preview function, for quickly displaying a found file, allowing the user to see if it's what he was looking for. Besides that, search results can be exported or printed, for future analysis. Furthermore, the program can look for certain text inside documents.

Cons

The large number of options may be confusing for some users. FileLocator Pro is the perfect search utility for quickly finding any desired file or folder.
