Our Tips for the File Content Search
The file content search of UltraSearch Professional is a feature that really comes in handy in the daily use. We prepared some tips for you to make your content search even more efficient.
Filter for file types
Especially on larger file systems or when you search through different targets at the same time, file type filters may come in handy to narrow down the search and speed up the process enormously. Just click on "File Type Filter" and choose from a broad variety of different file type filters. Each defined file type covers multiple file extensions. That means if you choose "Office files and documents", for example, the search results get filtered by files with the file extensions .docx, .xslx, pptx and so on.
Additionally, you can configure the defined file types.
Search through multiple targets at the same time
You are not sure on which exact drive your file might be found? With the UltraSearch Professional drive list, you can search for files on multiple drives at the same time.
Besides local drives, you can search through network drives, USB flash drives, SD cards and many more at the same time. The file content search couldn't be more efficient.
Make use of UltraSearch search syntax
Attention all power users: Besides using predefined or individualized file type filters, UltraSearch Professional also supports an intuitive search syntax as well as regular expressions.
Only search for files with an explicit file extension, for example, using type: or extension:. Additionally, you can combine search terms with AND and OR easily. Doing so, you can perform complex searches even faster.
Efficient exclude filters
In the UltraSearch Professional content search, you not only can filter your results by file types but also set exclude filters. Use exclude filters, for example, to exclude certain system paths (e.g. C:\Windows or C:\System Volume Information) from your search to make your content search more targeted.
