WizFile is a powerful and extremely high-speed file finder utility designed for Windows users. It allows you to search for files on your hard drive by name, path, size, and date, with search results displayed almost instantly. Unlike many other file search tools, WizFile monitors your file system continuously and updates search results in real-time, ensuring you always have the most up-to-date information at your fingertips.
WizFile is optimized for efficiency, using a compact internal file database that minimizes system resource usage. This ensures that WizFile has a negligible impact on your PC’s performance, allowing you to run it alongside other applications without slowing down your system.
Key Features of WizFile:
- Instant, Live File Search: Search for files by name, path, size, and date with results displayed instantly. Real-time updates ensure your search results reflect any changes in the file system as they happen.
- Search Entire File Paths:Unlike other search utilities, WizFile allows you to search not just by file name, but by the entire file path, making it easier to locate files based on their directory structure.
- Multiple Search Terms: You can input multiple search terms separated by spaces. Spaces act as "AND" operators, while the vertical pipe "|" functions as an "OR" operator, giving you greater flexibility in refining your searches.
- Ultra-Fast Performance: When scanning NTFS formatted hard drives, WizFile reads directly from the Master File Table (MFT). This direct disk access bypasses the operating system, allowing WizFile to build its internal file database with exceptional speed and minimal delay.
- Custom Filters: WizFile includes three customizable filter sets. These are preset to filter by file type, file size, and file date, but can be tailored to meet your specific needs.
- No External Database File: All file data is stored in memory (RAM), eliminating the need for an external database file. This makes WizFile portable and reduces the risk of database corruption. WizFile will automatically manage memory usage by swapping data to the Windows page file if necessary.
- Supports Various Drive Types: In addition to NTFS drives, WizFile also supports non-NTFS hard drives, network drives, USB drives, and individual directories, providing a versatile file search solution for different storage configurations.
- Free for Personal Use: WizFile is available free of charge for personal use, making it accessible to a wide range of users who need a fast and reliable file search tool.
WizFile’s combination of speed, efficiency, and real-time updates makes it an invaluable tool for anyone needing to quickly locate files on their Windows PC. Whether you’re managing large datasets, organizing files, or simply trying to find a specific document, WizFile is designed to meet your needs with minimal impact on your system.
WizFile - Changelog:
- Added global "include" and "exclude" filters - go to Options->Filters to configure them.
- UI tweaked to look like Windows 11 style.
- Fixed rare bug that might cause some folders not to be detected by WizFile when parsing MFT file due to unusual MFT record ordering.
- Unicode characters were not being saved to search drop down history correctly - fixed.
- Emojis were not being displayed correctly in file search and filter fields - fixed.
