Findwild supports wildcards in paths and search texts and lets you refine your search results further. You can save criteria for later use.

Content search does not work as general document recognition for any binary format. Choose folders and patterns targeted.

Get more from Findwild

Combine known properties to keep a search clear. A file name, folder location and word from the content together can give much more targeted results than one general keyword. Also check which folders you deliberately exclude.

Content searching may take longer than search by name. Please take into account read permissions and unconnected storage. Check a found file before editing: similar names may belong to different versions of the same project.

Version and updates

Version 3.5 (Linux-broncode en pakketten). Released on 12-03-2024.

Compare search engines on file names, file contents and the storage they index. A quick name searcher on NTFS does not automatically search the text in each document. In addition, pay attention to network stations, filters and the load of any index.

Our verdict

Findwild fits when a simple name search gives too many results. Start wide and add exclusions based on what you see. Check case settings and separators. For daily search queries for formatted documents, an indexing search service can fit better; here the power lies in self-controlled criteria.
