The Sleuthhound is another great data-finding tool. It lets you set up "search zones" that make locating information as effective as possible. The program also displays your search results in an HTML, search-engine like interface. More...

Surf Guru, Tip of the day
Q: Guru, I download a lot of information from the Web into various files and folders-I probably have over a thousand of then on my hard drive, But when I try to look for them, the built-in Window search tool rarely helps. Got a solution, Mr. Know-It-all?
A: You're right: The Windows search tool (go to Start/Find) is about as useful as a parachute that opens up on contact. Lately, though, I've been using The Sleuthhound!. More...

Ok, listen up kids. If you have documents, like I have documents, then you’ve probably got them leaking out the side of your computer case and onto the floor. I know I do. In fact, it’s even worse than that. I’m so anal about the way I file documents and things that I sometimes have them nested beyond all possible relief. The directory tree can get really nasty at times; but the filing system works.

I'm sure glad that iSleuthHound Technologies has given us the Sleuthhound. Its one of the easiest to use hard drive search engines for your computer I’ve ever seen in my entire life. Now, I can find just the document I need in no time flat. ... If you have a large hard drive, or are just over anal about putting documents in folders, like me, then you should really consider The Sleuthhound. It can bring order to the chaos that is your hard drive. It did for me. More...

Loosing track of files on your computer's hard disk? It's easy to do, considering the multi-megabytes many of us have in there. Now, you can find files the simple way. The Sleuthhound! is fully-functional hard disk search engine that operates like Web search engines. First, you tell the program the folders to track--called Search Zones. Then, you can find files contained in those Search Zones based on the word or words you specify that support the use of wildcards and logical operators (And, Or, and Not).

The great part is that this program searches within the files themselves, not just filenames like Windows Explorer does! So, when you are looking for a certain document, for example, The Sleuthhound! will search its own memory and look within the documents for the words you are looking for. Pretty cool! More...

Put an Internet-style search engine to work on your local PC with The Sleuthhound! This easy-to-use file finder enables you to conduct keyword searches that support the use of wildcards and logical operators (And, Or, and Not). You establish "search zones" that include one or more drives and/or folders. The Sleuthhound! then indexes the search zones (limited to .txt and/or .doc files in the trial version), providing lightning-fast searches of its own database.

You can run it from the system tray to monitor the search zones for changes and additions, making sure the database is kept up-to-date. Search results are presented in an orderly and attractive manner, showing the file name and type, an excerpt from the file that contains the keyword, and a handy link to open the file. More...

Now you can experience the thrill of the hunt. More...

The Dog Days of Summer
by T.J. Ripley

Face it, it’s tough enough finding what you want on the Internet, you really don’t want to chase your own tail looking for documents you’ve already saved. But that’s what many of us wind up doing. We save reports, correspondence, Web pages and resumes on our systems, but we waste valuable time trying to remember what we named them or where we stored them. Unless you are super organized or have a photographic memory, you’re likely to be dogged by the problem of losing track of your own files. More...
