Quick Search is a powerful and fast file search program with an interesting viewer. The platform indexes files, folders, shortcuts, and provides real-time results. These advantages make it a very good alternative to Windows' default search.

You can also apply filters to limit the search range and see results more easily.

Powerful alternative to Windows' simple search

Real-time results

In our search without filters (scanning the entire disk), results came in real time. If you're more specific, you'll find results even faster for videos, programs, photos, music, documents, or shortcuts.

On the right, you'll see a preview of each search result (only visible in images) along with information such as name, file extension, size, and modification date. Another highlight is the ability to open files directly from the interface—just double-click a result.

The environment is a very good alternative to the search built into Windows. Apart from the advantages we've mentioned, you can create your own search categories or export results to a text file.

Quick Search is a free program available for Windows. It is backed by Glarysoft, and after installation it will ask you to install other tools from its portfolio that aren't needed for the tool's proper functioning.
