VX Search 12.0.24

Have you gone to the search bar in Windows, inputted a file name you're completely sure is correct, and windows fails to turn it up? Or worse, Windows Explorer locks up as it tries to find your file within the thousands you have installed, and you can't work in it for a while, so you go fiddle around on your internet browser. Well, VX Search is a faster alternative that I can't recommend enough if you're having these problems.

VX Search is a small, free, and lightweight utility that helps you search for certain files. It supports multiple profiles, charts, reports, and an incredible amount of filters. There's nothing really important to mention during the installation sequence or the bootup sequence. The interface is very easy to interpret. On the left, there are three panes. One displays your search profiles, another displays your search locations, and yet another displays the status of a variety of files. The main pane shows your search results, and near the end, it shows the number of each file type as according to your filters. 

You can customize each filter with multiple tweaks, such as file name, extension, full path, category, file size, JPEC information, and more. There are a ton of criteria, and it's possible to turn them all on at once if you so wished. With so many features jam-packed into one fast-paced search program, VX Search makes its mark as a good alternative to the default Windows Explorer search bar.
