Agent Ransack = freeware
File Locator Lite = freeware
Agent Ransack = FileLocator Lite

Same product with different names. They want to have their Ransack
product title fade away. It isn't professional sounding.

Pharmaceutical companies claim their drug prices are
so high because they have to recover the costs of developing
those drugs. Two questions:

1. Why is the U.S. paying the entire cost of development while
prices for the same drugs in other nations are much lower?

2. Manufacturers of generic drugs did not have those
development costs. Why are they charging so much for generics?

I assume you are talking about *Agent* Ransack.

Yes, it's very good. I use it for searches by file name. But for
searches by file content, Search Everything is much better. So I
recommend having and using both.

You have it backwards. Search Everything is much faster than Agent
Ransack. However, Search Everything can only search by name for objects
(e.g., files, folders); it does not have a capability to search for
content. On the other hand, Agent Ransack can search for content.

I think you have that backwards. Everything searches only for
file/folder names. Agent Ransack can search for strings in the contents
of a file.

Count 3 on voting you got it backwards.

"Everything" doesn't search inside files (no content search). It only
searches on filenames. FileLocator [Lite aka Agent Ransack) *does*
search on filenames or on contents.

Everything builds a search index (like the Windows file indexer) so
filename-only searches are very fast. FileLocator Lite has to build a
cache of filenames on its first run because it doesn't occupy memory
space as a background process when it is not being used, like
Everything. However, if you do subsequent searches during the same
session of FileLocator Lite, it will use its cache so it will then be
very fast on filename lookups.

I forget why but users of Everything were complaining that it was not
finding all files. They could see the file using the 'dir' command in a
console shell but Everything wouldn't list it. As I recall, to fix was
to either reconfigure to add more search paths or running Everything
under an admin-level account (or running it as a service).

FileLocator Lite aka Agent Ransack does search everything (files and
content). Ransack is slow on the 1st search because it has to build a
filename cache; however, it is very fast on subsequent searches.
Everything does not search any content and you may have to make a fix to
get it to find files it othewise misses; however, it retains a database
of filenames so search across separate sessions of Everything are fast.

Yep, sorry--a brain fart.

But it's still good to have and use both.

I still prefer Locate32 http://locate32.cogit.net/ over Everything.
They pretty much work the same way - they create an index of all the
files that they then parse based on search criteria - but Locate32 has
- IMHO - a much better interface. Everything /looks/ simpler - you get
just a simple search line (sort of like Google) but I like Locate32's
multiple fields (where I can specify folders or extensions). If you
remember Win9x/2K's search dialog, it's looks like that. Locate32 also
lets me save presets for commonly used search criteria that I can then
modify for a specific search. It also has limited (mostly to TXT
files) content search.

Everything's main advantage is that it has real-time updating, whereas
Locate32 only updates its index at scheduled intervals. I've
configured mine to update every 12 hours (and it can be triggered
manually if needed). I've found both to be about the same speed;
Everything might be a tad faster in indexing, but I find Locate32
faster in the searches.

The improved interface of Locate32 more than makes up for the
real-time update limitation. Anyway, I usually can remember where I
have stashed a file I've worked on in the last 12 hours ;-)

I like Agent Ransack, but its lack of indexing is really noticable
when searching on network shares (its PDF iFilter isn't particularly
impressive either)
