Agent Ransack is a free tool for finding files and information on your hard drive fast and efficiently. When searching the contents of files Agent Ransack displays the text found so you can quickly browse the results without having to separately open each file!
Agent Ransack provides compelling advantages over similar search tools:
-Regular expressions that allow complex rule based searches.
-Immediate contents results view.
-Various wizards to walk the user through the searching process.
This is an "old" program but it still shines. We've seen all kinds of fancy search tools from the likes of Google and Yahoo! which brings your system to a halt with every search. This one is small fast and very configurable. It's truly a find (pun intended)!
Latest changes:
- - Copy acting as Cut on certain versions of Windows 98 (thanks to Kasauli for reporting bug and testing fix).
- - Executable unnecessarily linked against oleacc.dll (Win 95/NT does not install this Active Accessibility support DLL).
- - WinXP shell extension bug fix.
