Everything local search engine

Everything is a local search engine. It helps you locate files and directories based on their filenames. You can’t use Everything to search based on file contents, but it more than makes up for this shortcoming with the speed it demonstrates. The secret is that it automatically indexes all the files and directories on your system, so that when it’s time to search for something, you’ve already got a database of the contents of your hard drive, so you’re just looking things up, rather than having to run through your entire directory structure at search time. It supports wildcards and regular expressions, so you can make your search queries very specific when you enter them.

Everything is a Windows application. It runs under Windows 2000 and later, and will only index local NTFS volumes—no FAT volumes, no network drives.
I have been using Everything for awhile now, and love it. I have 4 hard drives on my main computer and it makes finding files a breeze.
