More powerful Windows file search

[mortstar]

I'm looking for a clever file search application that will accept more than just "find x type of file"

 

For example if I wanted to search D: for files != *.mp3

 

Anybody know of anything?

 

Many thanks

Can you not do something like

find /v ".mp3"

Find - Search for text

Agent Ransack ?

 

Agent Ransack - home

 

Or like already stated - the find command.

Lots of switches on the dir command too !!

Agent ransack is an excellent little app and supports regular expression search filtering on filename/path and text content. It also seems quite happy to work in 'portable' mode if you just copy the files to a USB drive.

Indeed - I'll add it to the Admin's Admin Bar on the next update I think.....

If its specifically media files, etc you're after then you could do a lot worse tha paul Beesly's Edusweep
