Freeware Tools: VX Search 7.6.1

VX Search is an automated, rule-based file search solution capable of searching files by the file type, category, extension, file name, regular expressions, location, size, creation, modification and last access dates, user, file attributes, JPEG EXIF tags, etc. Users are provided with the ability to categorize and filter file search results, copy, move or delete search results, generate various types of pie and bars charts and save reports to a number of standard formats such as HTML, text, Excel CSV and XML. Frequently used file search operations may be pre-configured, saved as user-defined.

VX Search is an advanced software application built specifically for helping you perform thorough search operations in multiple locations of your computer. It supports profiles with different settings, charts, reports, and an advanced file transfer function.

When it comes to configuring the file search options, you can make the tool stop the search process when it reaches a user-defined value, and limit the number of directory and file search threads.

VX Search lets you pause or stop the scan task, perform file transfers with advanced filters just like in the search profiles, copy file names and details to the Clipboard, view file properties (e.g. directory, size), as well as open the target's location in the file explorer.

The app sports a clean and straightforward layout that allows you to build search profiles which can be saved and reused future sessions.

These contain various filters (e.g. filename, extension, creation date, text string, HEX pattern, JPEG EXIF Tag, file attributes, size, full path), target locations (e.g. all hard disks, network shares), folder exclusions, and numerous conditions for filters (e.g. Contains, Begins or Ends with, Equals).

Frequently used file search operations may be pre-configured, saved as user-defined search profiles and performed fully automatically using the VX Search GUI application or direct desktop shortcuts allowing one to execute search commands in a single mouse click.

Finally, VX Search Ultimate provides a command line utility capable of executing user-defined search commands periodically using the Windows built-in task scheduler and enabling periodic generation of search reports and automatic E-Mail notifications.
