Best Free Desktop Search Utility

[anothermack]

Hello all,

link is this:

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en

I am using OpenOffice myself, not any version of Office.

Contents inside .odt documents could not be searched in preinstalled Win 7 Windows Search (even if you adapted the default extension settings in Windows Indexing options to 'content as well as filenames' for the OpenDocument formats like .odt)

With this add-on pack to Windows Search, it does now find content of these files.

And yes working on Win 7 64bit. There are even 2 specific downloads possible, a 32 and a 64 bit version,

Filter Pack 2010, 32bit and 64bit

Enables CONTENT search within OpenDocument format (created via OpenOffice or MS Office apps): .odt (text docs), .ods (spreadsheets)

Avoid MS desktop search and use a real tool, plus it's safer and free.

I don't agree with your statement, especially with Windows 7. I find the Windows desktop search within Windows 7 to be one of the best. As I've indicated earlier, if you are looking for a desktop search tool, then check out the following link:
