SwiftSearch

What is SwiftSearch?

SwiftSearch is a lightweight program that aims to help users quickly locate the files they need on their Windows machines without the need for indexing drives. Unlike conventional search utilities that rely on indexing drives during idle periods, SwiftSearch takes a different approach. With administrator privileges, it directly accesses the file system (NTFS only) and reads the file table directly, resulting in search speeds that are orders of magnitude faster than traditional methods. Typically, searches yield full results in approximately 10 seconds or less, a significant improvement for many users. Additionally, SwiftSearch offers several advanced features, including path-based searching, regular expression support, and the ability to retrieve full directory sizes. The program's goal is to provide a simple, swift, and intuitive user experience for efficient file retrieval
