Search GT is a replacement for the standard Windows File Search tool, that finds files many times faster (usually within a couple of seconds), without the use of any background indexing. It integrates with Windows Explorer and the Search menu and looks very similar to the standard search dialog and return results in the same Explorer window. Search GT is a handy replacement that really speeds up file searches without adding additional overhead.

The key benefit of Search GT is that it searches up to 100x faster than the Windows native search engine. Most searches are completed in 1-2 seconds. Search GT is fully integrated into Windows Explorer, and duplicates Windows File Search functionality. You start the search and get the search results within the Windows Explorer window. You already know how to use Search GT.

Search GT works transparently without any performance footprint on the operating system. It uses system resources only while the user is searching. Another best thing about Search GT is that it doesn’t run in the background and doesn’t write anything to the hard drive, except for user search settings.

Search GT enhances file search experience for almost anyone. As an ordinary user, you may want to use it to find a file even if you know where it is located because starting a search from the root of the drive is often faster than browsing to the desired folder. The program is very useful for system administrators, who can use it to search drives with very high number of files (over a million). Usually file searches take enormous amount of time on such large volumes, but Search GT handles them in seconds.

Advanced users may want to use Search GT to find a virus or a rootkit that is hiding itself by hijacking Windows system libraries. Because Search GT scans NTFS disks directly, it finds any file on the hard disk. Plus, because Search GT works in real-time, search results are always "up-to-date&quot. This means that file system changes (added/removed files, changed file names, etc.) are immediately reflected in the search results window as they occur.
