Comments and Reviews
Searching and managing files is a critical aspect of any O/S, I've yet to find one that does it really well, but RecentX is better than most and I'd say better than Windows10 search as well (mostly).
pros:
Cons:
Overall after a month of use I can recommend it, just wish it were a little less buggy and better on performance.

Extremely useful tool, if only it had an option to open at the last used Tag instead of the recently opened files list it would be even more helpful.
Thanks Michael, Thanks for your nice feedback. You can disable the option "Always clear keywords when hiding RecentX window" from RecentX Preferences if you wish to have the last used tag selected always.

fast search recent files folders and internet browsing history.
I've been using RecentX since way back in the XP days. As Windows search bar improves, it still doesn't match the simple elegance, and crazy functionality of Recentx. I just moved computers and upgraded to version 5. Not disappointed. As usual, awesome.
Quick, Easy, Convenient. I just used it to create my log in to this site. Well worth the price. Bought it for my desktop and laptop machines. Simple and intuitive.
I totally love this as an alternative to Avafind.
It searches your whole drives, containing server/network drives, and find anything you want just in seconds! It will be really necessary who use network drives or NAS ( like Wd my cloud etc. )
