Index-based search
That's why DocSearch, being a content searcher, takes an approach known as indexing: The basic idea is that most of the files people need to search in (like, more than 95%) are modified very infrequently or not at all. So, rather than doing full text extraction on every file on every search, it is far more efficient to perform text extraction on all files just once, and to create a so-called index from all the extracted text. This index is kind of like a dictionary that allows quickly looking up files by the words they contain.

Quickly find files on your computer
DocSearch program enables you to search through extensive folders for a specific document, with its partial or whole name as a keyword. It lets you to perform multiple searches, by opening numerous tabs in its main window.

You can set the target directory, then press 'Search', and the application will almost immediately return a list of results, featuring all the files containing the input keyword in their name. In addition, you can set an exclusion list, so the search results do not include items of no interest to you.

Look for PDFs and other Office documents
Moreover, you can search for a word or expression in the contents of a file, including PDFs and Microsoft Office formats, without requiring any additional software to be installed on your system.

DocSearch also provides you with a "Modified between" mode, that enables you to set specific dates between which your target files should have been accessed and changed. This can prove particularly useful if you have recently worked on a file, but can no longer remember its location, or the software you used in to modify it did not save it in the regular folders.

Narrow down search results by applying filters
Similarly, the application enables you to set a size criterion, preventing documents that exceed or are under certain dimensions (B, KB, MB or GB) to be displayed in the search results.
