Use FSA to search inside doc files
Any experienced professional who regularly works with much information (files, docs, programs) would say that loss of files is a very acute problem. Sure, we all try to systemize info in our computers so that it is easy to access and find files. But sometimes we make mistakes. We should take into account human factor. There are no perfect people.
It is interesting that losing files in own computer looks pretty much the same as losing things in own house. We know both computer and own apartment pretty well. But for some reason it seems impossible to find missing files/things. It is ridiculous, but in most cases lost things/files are located right in front of our eyes. It is easy to disregard obvious things.
Nowadays it is impossible to perform an effective file search without proper search engines. The market is full of such programs. But if you study the market offers you will learn that some file search solutions are rather expensive while others are not easy to use.
File Search Assistant from AKS-LABS combines efficiency and simplicity. This file search engine has several converters which make it possible to look for keywords inside certain types of files, namely: MS Office docs, Adobe Acrobat files, Open Office docs, HTML pages, picture and multimedia files.
Having tested numerous features of File Search Assistant you will not look for any other file search solutions. Why? It is because:
- File Search Assistant has a Preview function which makes it possible to preview files right in the program. Thus, you do not have to manually open all of them to find the one you need.
- If you possess additional information on the missing files you will require less time to find them. Thus, there are such criteria as
a) search by mask, i.e. searching for a particular file type (for example *html* or *xml*)
b) search by size, in case you are aware of the approximate size of missing files
c) search by date, which is useful if you know when missing docs were created/modified/accessed.
- Search sessions can be saved and loaded. Search results can be saved in the report. It is also possible to create search indexes.
- Inexperienced users may refer to file search wizard which will guide them through entire search procedure.
- You can apply standard right button Windows menu functions to files listed in the search results.
