Find your files with Everything Search

People often complain that searching for files on a windows PC is painfully slow. Inbuilt search function of windows is slow because it actually scans the files while searching. There are other programs which scan the hard drive and build an index through which they give the search results when files are searched for. However, these programs are also not very popular because indexing is a time consuming process and runs in the background all the time thus slightly slowing down the PC at some times and putting a lot of unnecessary stress on the hard disk.
The answer to all these problems is Everything Search. It uses the master file table of the NTFS drive to build its index and searches in that index. Thus it is lightning fast. To give you a clear idea, it takes around 20 seconds to build its index on my 250 GB SATA 3.0 Gbps hard drive which has around 60 GB of free space. Thus it is ready within a few seconds to get you any file or folder which you may seek. Keep in mind though that you cannot search the contents of files with this program, only file names, but then, how many of us do that anyways.
Everything Search has got a very simple interface with just a menu bar and a search box. The rest of the area shows the results. To search a specific location, you need to type the location within quotes. It easily integrates with windows explorer thus letting you search any folder with just a few clicks. The context menu within the results lets you copy the path of the file which is a sorely missed feature of windows explorer.
Everything search is a portable program and does not need installation. So you can run in it off a pen drive on any computer. Download is just 272 KB. Get it here.

Note however that this program can only be used on NTFS formatted hard drives.
