Mo-Search 3.0 Beta beta
Publisher's Description:
Mo-Search quickly Locates, Scores and Ranks relevant files by searching file contents or filenames/paths. Advantages include: Scored and Ranked Results, Searches Networked Drives (shares), Integrated FileViewer with Highlighted Matches, and Integrated EXIF QuickView adjacent to previewed images.
Latest Changes:
- Note: Sorry, Windows 98 is no longer supported (Windows 2000 is now the oldest supported version of Windows. If have Windows 98, please use Mo-Search 2.7.1)
- Feature: Fileviewer, web URLs now display as hyperlinks, which when clicked open in your registered web browser
- Feature: Fileviewer, filename references now display as hyperlinks, which when clicked open in new tabs in Mo-Search. (Handy for browsing source code)
- Feature: Fileviewer, Ctrl-clicked filename references are opened in that file types default editor
- Feature: Revised results relevance (ranking) system to produce even more superior results
- Feature: Search for quoted text (for example: "Big red truck" now finds all files containing that exact phrase)
- Feature: iFilter Support! Now Mo-Search can index and search all the same file types as the big boys (Google, Microsoft, Yahoo, Copernic, etc..)
- Feature: Microsoft Office files are now indexable and searchable when Microsoft Office is not installed (thanks iFilter)
- Feature: Fileviewer, added Properties button
- Feature: Fileviewer, added Loader combo box (enable via: Options > More > General > Display Viewer Selection combo)
- Feature: Improved foreign language support: We now index Words containing extended ASCII characters codes (ŠŒŽšœžŸ¡ªÀÁÂÃÄÅÆÇÈÉÊËÌÍÎÏÐÑÒÓÔÕÖרÙÚÛÜÝÞßàáâãäåæçèéêëìíîïðñòóôõöøùúûüý)
- Feature: Text indexed files are now tagged with their indexer: :Media, :MS_Word, :MS_PowerPoint, :MS_Excel, :Adobe_Acrobat, :iFilter, :Exe, :Text_ANSI, :Text_UNICODE_UNI16_BE, :Text_UNICODE_UNI16_LE, :Text_UNICODE_UTF_8, :Text_UNICODE_OTHER
- Bug: FileViewer navigation buttons: First, Previous, Next and Last in various cases did not navigate properly (very long standing bug/design flaw)
- Bug: When the ^ operator is used, matching words are now hilighted in the Fileviewer (long standing bug)
- Bug: Text files of type: Unicode, Unicode big endian, and UTF-8 now properly display (very long standing bug)
- Bug: Non-Image media files sometimes did not text index
- Bug: FileViewer, when using [Word Count...] on an empty file, the Avg Line Length previously read: [-1.$] (long standing bug)
- Bug: Uninstalling Mo-Search now also removes application settings. (regression in 2.7)
- Bug: About > System Info failed on Vista (Long standing bug)
- Optimization: FileViewer, Faster loading and navigation of large files having many matches. Word Token tracking is now done via template based AVL tree (thanks: G.M. Adelson-Velsky and E.M. Landis!)
- Optimization: Faster indexing of text based files (replaced CFile with CTextFileRead, thanks PEK)
- Optimization: Faster indexing and searching (increased various buffer sizes, enhanced file info caching, optimized date logic, and parameterized SQL)
- Cleanup: More responsive indexing cancel-ability
- Cleanup: By default Windows Vista recycler is now added as a Omit Folder; windows.old and config.msi are now detected as omit paths
- Cleanup: Consolidated indexers [Text: Normal] and [Text: Source Code] into [Text]. This simplifies and improves application usability and reliability
- Cleanup: Extensions: .htm .html and .wri now default to the Text Indexer: iFilter
- Cleanup: .rtf is no longer Text Indexed by default. This is because .rtf often generates reams of noise when indexed by iFilter (If you want, manually add this extension in Options)
- Cleanup: Code now compiles as UNICODE for future versions
- Cleanup: Multi-database foundation improvements (SQL Server, SQL Server CE) for future versions
- Cleanup: Registry settings in (Meauxsoft > CommonGui) have been merged under Mo-Search - so these settings are now also cleaned up when the application is uninstalled
- Misc: Various small optimizations, bug fixes, GUI tweaks, and a prettier rendered search header image

I've been using this programm since 2.0 and have appreciated all the updates. The program gets faster and better and now searches and ranks documents using mulitiple words. The re-indexing is quicker now, especially when updating, and the updating is very easy. I regularly use this and can't say enough good about how much time this program saves me in finding previously created legal documents lost in the bowels of my word files. I say Mo-Search saves the day.

The program was fast and has a simple install however i found that it is faster to find a file myself sometimes than open a program and search for it. If there were a tool bar with a low cpu impact it would greatly improve the desirably of the program.

Very good! Fast when both indexing and searching. And searching produces very relevant results. IMHO Mo-Search is better than google, copernic and microsoft desktop search. If I did not have this tool I would be much less productive. Check it out!
