UltraSearch
UltraSearch is a Windows tool for searching file names and contents across local storage, company networks and SharePoint. Results appear as you type, and direct SharePoint searches do not require indexing. Queries can use text or phrases in file contents, wildcards, regular expressions and AND/OR terms. Search locations include local and network drives, external drives, USB sticks, SD cards and SharePoint. The Free edition costs nothing and is limited to private, non-commercial use; it includes 30 days of Professional features. Professional costs $30 a year, billed annually, and is available for Windows Desktop and Windows Server. It adds filters by file type, dates and size, searches inside ZIP files, and bulk actions to move, archive, delete or rename files from results. Professional also supports Google Drive searches and can connect to DataCentral, a central full-text and metadata index for multiple users. DataCentral runs on premises, keeps its index locally and integrates with NTFS permissions and Active Directory, according to the maker. Downloads do not require registration; an online manual and contact form are provided for support.
