    Finds: folders, files and contents ... and ... dates or date ranges
    Finds contents using compound "look for" strings ...
    eg, OR, AND, wild-cards (asterisk, question-mark) ... or RegEx expressions.

    400+ file types ... can be edited in Options ... (or in registry)

    In my experience faster then any other buit-in or free standing file contents finders

    **CON: **
    Context Menu caption "Search via FileSearchEX" is to long (verbose) ...
    • I changed mine to a simple "Find ..."
    • caption can be modified in the Registry ... the key to search for is Search via FileSearchEX
    • modify the key to eg. Find ...
    • the caption-text MUST be identical in all registry locations, else it fails.
    • must modify registry "as Admin"

    Reboot

    Now sells for $135 then $35 per year for updates and support.
    Otherwise $135 one off payment, for ever, no support, no updates
    It used to sell for $10, then $10 per year for updates
    Catch is; updates are very infrequent

    update 27-Oct-2020
