The perfect replacement for the now defunct Launchy. Can't sing enough praises about it: low memory footprint, no file indexing, regular expression support, easy setting export, extendable with plugins, and USB portable. What else do you need from a launcher, really?
It requires you to visit their website every couple of months to get a new license. Never ever again.
If you've been a registered forum member for over a year, they'll give you a non-expiring license key.

The configuration options, both in its appearance and its search behavior, are more than anyone could ever ask for. Additionally, even though it does not use indexed searching, it is quite fast when searching on an SSD.
Hi,
I installed FARR as Launchy became a real memory hog for an old, but decent and dependable, XP machine.
Getting used to it but I was impressed too for the same reasons as CaseyTech points below.
I love FARR. I have been a die hard Launchy user for years, but with the horrible memory that came out after version 2, I decide to find an alternative. I tried every keystroke launcher listed as an alternative to Launchy and none of them had the quick simple setup and learning/re-ranking system that Launchy does. Then I found FARR and was very impressed! It has all of the great features of Launchy and more! It uses very little memory (<15mb) and has no index, but searches super fast. It also learns/ re-ranks files and programs as you select them.
It also has a ton of settings and ways to extend its features and capabilities. I literally would have a hard time working without this program.
I cannot imagine to work without FARR: "Find And Run Robot" (FARR) is very useful, if you have installed very many programs, to preserve the overview, where is what application installed, or where is the setup-file for an installed application. Additionally, FARR finds very quick internet links to applications or folders, which stand in context with a searched expression or application. You can individually define, which especially weights some folders or file-extensions should have. So files or folders, you individually search very often, can get more weight in the search-and-find-process. My summary: Since I know, that this application exists, I cannot imagine to work without it each day. If you try it, you will like it!
