To a busy person like myself, it is normal and common to forget the file name of the document your looking for but more or less you have idea about its contents. DocFetcher is a free application that can help you search documents for words to find exactly what you are searching for. Before you can search for contents, the app will require you to build an index of files you want to be searchable. To create an index, just click the file types that you want to be included in the index, then right-click inside the search scope and select "Create Index" then choose the folder you want to index.
After the indexing process, you can now search for text inside your files. To start searching, type the term in the search box and hit Enter. The results section display the relevance percentage, file size and filename of each result. Clicking on a result item opens up a preview of the file with the search terms highlighted and Double clicking the result instead will launch the document for you.
If you change something on a indexed document, you don't have to reindex again because DocFetcher keeps track of additions and modifications to the folders you have configured it to monitor. For Advanced search, you can use a variety of parameters like including or excluding search terms using the +/- signs, search metadata, use wild cards, and specify file extensions.
DocFetcher works with Windows and Linux. For Windows users, you can choose between installer and portable versions of the software.
