Agent Ransack Review

Have you ever lost track of a file on your PC?

I got sick of using Windows Search (and waiting forever for it to find anything) and started looking for an alternative.

Unfortunately, most of the Search programs I came across either didn't do what I wanted them to, or had a lot of overhead. For example: overhead can result as some search tools index your entire hard drive (similar to a file system table). Among other reasons, indexing is performed so that searching is limited to 1 huge database file (rather than scouring through the entire hard drive, bouncing from file to file, as is the case with Windows Search).

Thankfully, I my quest ended when I came across a wonderful search utility called Agent Ransack. I've been using it for a long time and it really puts Windows default search to shame. Ransack is *much* faster and can do so much more, yet it doesn't do things I don't want it to.

It's perfect ;-)

Give Agent Ransack a try once and you'll find yourself wondering why Microsoft couldn't even come close to it's speed and features!
