Download
WinFindr comes in a two different but equally tasty flavors: Portable and Setup.
The portable version means that you have one Windows executable file that you can simply copy to any system you want and run it there. When you are done, you can just delete the executable file and there is no other uninstallation or anything else required.
👉 Click here to download the Portable version
The setup version comes with a setup file that you can run and it will install WinFindr to your
computer, creates a link in the Start Menu and Desktop to start the app and you can uninstall it from
the
Control Panel as you normally do with Windows apps.
👉 Click here to
download the Setup version
WinFindr works in Windows 11, Windows 10, Windows 8 and Windows 7.
If you are unsure which version to download, you should download the Setup version.
Change Log
Improvement: The data searching now works faster, a lot faster. Especially in cases of
many search words or many ignore words used at the same time. In the real world
benchmark test, the improvement was a mind boggling 2100% speed increase.
New feature: Save and Start allows you to save the search parameters and start the
search, with a click of just one button. Previously you had to first run a search before
it was possible to save it for future use.
New feature: Dedicated search paths exclusion input allows you to easily define which
paths you don't want to be searched. previously this had to be done via the Ignore
search terms, which was a bit awkward.
New feature: Dedicated buttons to add new directories to the search sources and exclude
sources lists.
Fix: The Search page could be shown in a way that the search terms input field is
hidden. This could happen in systems with specific screen resolution and font settings.
This is now fixed by including a vertical scroll bar to the Search page.
New feature: Dedicated search source input field allows you to define which drives
and/or registry root keys to search, previously this had to be done via the Ignore
search terms, which was a bit awkward.
New feature: Ability to save searches. If you are often running the same searches,
simply save it and it can be later run with just one click.
New feature: Added a Right Click menu option to copy the selected item’s path to
clipboard.
New feature: Added a Right Click menu option to save only the selected items to
file.
Fix: The Search Log can sometimes display a wrong number of results found in its total
value.
Fix: The search process could get stuck and never complete in some systems using a
specific set of search terms.
Improvement: The results list now uses the Windows natural sorting algorithm, the same
Windows file explorer uses.
Improvement: The scan progress view now shows how many directories and registry keys
have been analyzed, previously only their sum was shown.
Improvement: Added a search progress bar which is visible after the given search source
paths have been analyzed already at least one time.
Improvement: In case the program fails to save its settings to disk, there is now an
error message informing the user that this just happened.
Improvement: If running in Portable mode, the program will use WinFindr.dat within the
program folder to save its settings if the file exists, if not, the WinFindr.dat file is
created to the system’s temporary directory.
Improvement: Reset Search is no longer visible in the Right Click menu during the
search, as it doesn’t really make sense.
Improvement: Searching with multiple search terms is now a bit faster.
