Does NOT index; my favorite feature. Fast, accurate, and repeatable. It's what XP's Search should have been. I like this so much I've upgraded to FileLocator Pro.

Windows XP Search is way slowwww in finding files. Agent Ransack is very very fast. I haven't tried many of the features, but the speed is what I wanted and it has it. You can execute it by right-clicking any folder and selecting Agent Ransack. There are a couple of limitations that I see right away. 1-You cannot "open the containing folder" for a file. You can open the file for edit. You can drag and drop the file somewhere (which copies it). 2- If you cut and past the file to move it, Agent Ransack does not immediately update it's list to show the new location. You can however perform all right click type operations on the files found. All in all, I find the limitations minor in exchange for the speed.

Incredible program! I've been using Agent Ransack program for 2 years and on my Windows XP! It works on my XP without any problems. This is the best search/find program ever written. It's easy and it's fast! Thanks AR.

Besides it speed, I like being able to use regular expressions for both the file name and the file contents.
