DESCRIPTION
Index Your Files is an alternative way for you to Index and Search
through all your files or folders on Local or Networked Drives.
With plenty of stats about your files and various ways to manipulate
them, Index Your Files will provide an extremely user-friendly and
powerful way to manage your information.
Searching can be done by Name, Date, Size, Location, within the
found file results.
Use Boolean operators to perform multiple keyword searches.
Use Windows Explorer context menus on found files.
Use drag and drop, copy, rename, delete.
Find your files and show them to you.
View file content for found files text, html, and graphics files.
The [RESULTS DISPLAY] will display the filetypes using an internal
viewer, which saves time and greatly simplifies the process.
Index Your Files will save you time and make your work with a computer
more pleasant.
IYF can automatically update the indexes at any time selected,
or at any regular time, or time interval.
Using the file contents display means that it is not necessary in
actual practice to make a gigantic index which indexes *every word*.
For the person who works in many directories [folders] in the course
of a day, the entire day's work can be displayed in the found files
window, allowing quick checking for accuracy or review.
One window will display the search results from many different folders.
The indexes formed are compacted and do not take up nearly as
much space as similar products.
Can be running in the System Tray with less memory than it takes to
open another Explorer window.
Index Your Files does not contain any malware, or similar, and does
not write to the registry.

iyf.
BUGS
it should be avoided to put the the indexing databases on a folder
managed by DropBox because it interferes with the index writing.
As a workaround you can pause the synchronizing during index
creation - the index search is not influenced.
The database can be relocated using the
DATABASEDIR
setting in the
etc/iyf.cfg
configuration file. See
iyf.cfg(4)
for more information.
