It switches the text search functionality to Windows Search handlers to find text inside Office documents, PDF documents, and other file types. The "Use Windows search handlers to find text inside Microsoft Office documents and other file types" option needs to be checked for that to happen. The program supported searches for file content previously as well but the new version adds another option to the process. Search returns files that match these search parameters. You may specify one or multiple base folders, exclude folders, and limit searches to certain file names or file types. All that is required for that is to select "Text" next to "File contains" in the search options and type text that you want the program to find. You may use the program to find text in files. The new version of the desktop search program features two main new features: the option to use Windows search handlers to find text in files, and a change in the Find Folders search behavior.
The program opens its two windows when you run it: one to configure searches, the other to display search results. You need to download the 32-bit or 64-bit archive from the Nirsoft website and extract it to your system to get started.
SearchMyFiles 3.00 is a big update for the portable program. Note: SearchMyFiles has nothing to do with Search My Files, another desktop search program that we reviewed in the past. I reviewed an earlier version of SearchMyFiles in 2012 and concluded that it was an excellent desktop search program for Windows that offered a wealth of search parameters and options.
