UltraFileSearch Std for Windows 10 - Full description
UltraFileSearch Std is a Windows file-search utility for people who need to locate files, folders or text across local and removable storage, optical discs, and network locations. It can search several drives and folders at once, making it useful for finding items across a large collection without relying on background indexing. Searches run when requested rather than maintaining an index, so the program does not reserve disk space for one or use resources to keep one updated.
File-name searches offer Simple, Similarity, Wildcards and Wildcards Expressions modes. Users can include or exclude multiple locations through a multi-folder search setup, then narrow results by criteria such as modified date, size, attributes, folder or filename length, path depth and file owner. For content searches, it can look for words or phrases inside plain-text files and encoded documents through IFilters or text filters. These options help distinguish a particular document from other files with similar names or identify files matching a combination of location and property rules.
Results can be sorted by column and displayed with Windows Explorer-style icons and context menus. From the results window, users can open an item or its containing folder and perform file-management tasks such as cutting, copying, moving, deleting or renaming files. Batch renaming can remove or replace characters, change letter case, or insert text and sequence numbers. Results can also be exported to TXT, CSV, TSV, HTML or XML, with options to select columns, destination and encoding.
Additional tools support file verification and organization. UltraFileSearch Std calculates hash values, including MD5, SHA-1 and SHA-256, and can find duplicate files. Its mirror-copy feature recreates a source folder structure before copying files, which can help when transferring an organized set of folders. These functions complement searches by helping users compare files, prepare copies and manage groups of results.
The Standard edition is shareware, and a separate Lite edition is available as freeware. Both editions also have portable versions. UltraFileSearch Std is offered for Windows 10 and Windows 11, as well as earlier Windows releases, and has no specific hardware requirements. Its interface and feature set are suited to users who want direct control over search locations, filters, result handling and export rather than an always-running indexing service.
