<Supportmeter progressbar>

[*_____________________________]

These are planned to come after enough support (order might not be guaranteed):

00: A custom timer that will be much smoother in long listing long runs, plus interval override which both overally require advanced resource management to avoid freeze

01: A better resource management between threads

02: Controllable warmup at start plus periodical warmup to boost your search speed during runtime without extra memory usage

03: An ultra fast unprivileged file search engine indexer with least resource usage

04: Alternate Reality! A new approach in search algorithm which will change searching experience, it might lead to faster indexless unprivileged search on some systems without forbiden knowledge

05: Verbosity variations

06: A faster file content search algorithm with less resource usage

07: A more tunable background warmup process

08: A more flexible copy/save system

09: Results view and management improvements

10: Costs calculation and adaptive timer

11: A next-gen queue is in development which will solve many problems

and more that will come after enough support.

Hotkeys:

ctrl+h - help screen

enter - start/stop the search

escape - stop the search or exit the app

ctrl+p - pause/resume the search

ctrl+r - clear the results

ctrl+c - copy the results

ctrl+s - save the results

ctrl+d - set focus on search path inclusion field

ctrl+f - set focus on search path exclusion field

ctrl+n - set focus on search term inclusion field

ctrl+m - set focus on search term exclusion field

ctrl+j - set focus on extension inclusion field

ctrl+k - set focus on extension exclusion field

ctrl+del - delete the current settings file

ctrl+q - save the current settings

arrow keys - navigation between input fields

Some usefull hints:

- Input list with the default delimiter works like str0|str1 without any quotation mark or anything else, only strings and delimiters.

- Copy/Save operates on selected results, if none be selected then all results.

- The "Content Only" option does not work alone, requires the "Search Content" option to be active.

- In case of inclusion and exclusion path selection if exclusion list be focused then will be filled instead of inclusion list.

- Boot cold search is always slower and more expensive because data still did not travel from the storage device to the memory accessible by operating system so you must schedule the background warmup process for yourself to run as example each 30 minutes to keep search speed high.

- Exclude unnecessary paths from search to boost your search speed. As example excluding C:\Windows\WinSxS will boost your search speed a lot. Actually microsoft search tool excludes searching system files as default but in this tool you must do it yourself because i want give you this choice.

- The new unlocked verbosity feature can show that which dirs costs more to search, slow searched dirs will remain longer in status bar so gives you hint to exclude unnecessary ones.

- For best performance increase system wide memory cache size and ntfs memory usage in windows registry.

- No forbidden knowledge is used.

- For requests and bug reports send me email.

Bugs are expected and some of them are known and some of them will be fixed over time after enough support.

Known issues:

- The help screen instructions might be or become outdated but nothing catastrophic will happen.

- Long input list is against performance due to used GUI framework internal design issues and fix is not planned. And the limit is 999999999 characters and on my device each list can fill 16gb memory, but security improvement by limiting the lists is fake news. If i recieve enough emails against it i will convert the lists to files.

- File type detection code is implemented but got license issues and must be reimplemented so is not planned to come soon. The used GPL library is linked but there is no call to it in the released version so law is respected. Why is linked? because the used build system is not documented properly and changing linker commands per app editions requires extra efforts and budget.

- Current search recurse depth filter algorithm is experimental.

- Some of time filters might not work properly on your systems and fix is not planned.

- Malwares or antimalwares can interrupt or change your search and i am not responsible for that.

- For the sake of overal search performance, for file content search you must manually filter size, extension, type, etc because in the basic version the entire file content is loaded into heap memory at once and file type is not checked and all files are treated as text files.

- Some rare deadlocks might happen if you press the buttons fast enough and fix is not planned.

- Path exclusion is your responsibility so some security sensitive or fast changing dirs or files if not be excluded will slow down your search and fix is not planned.

- Repeated inlusion or exclusion paths are not checked and you can add paths in ways that lead to repeated results or even infinite loop and fix is not planned. As example don't include a parent dir and its own subdirs in same path list.

- Symlink handling of used API got issues and my own implementation is not mature enough so might lead to issues in some cases like mount points.

- Following symlinks is not checked for risks of infinite loop and fix is not planned. You can use the path exclusion to avoid entering into infinite loop on recursive dir symlinks.

- Size of dirs and symlinks with current search algorithm remains 0. In case of dir requires sum of sizes of all contents recursively and current order of search does not allow low cost calculation of this and fix is not planned.

- In the limited version some parts of the code are excluded from compilation so might lead to unexpected issues which i will fix if i see such issues or you report them.

- The version number is not separated for the locked and full editions so the code might advance in the full edition but the locked edition stay the same at same time the version number change, so don't tune your expectations based on version changes.

- Before bug report download the latest available version.

Credits:

I do not want to advertise any API because with enough efforts any API can perform as well and only gives new challenges, but special thanks to the used GUI framework "ultimate++" for making GUI design easier. And special thanks to all people who directly and indirectly made this possible. As example c++ is used and despite its many flaws got nice features too. And operating system which sometimes makes it harder but the os with lots of its own efforts made the overal process possible. And hardware despite its flawed design also gives us possibilities and opportunities. And God who gave you all many powers.
