Native Windows desktop utility
Search millions of files as you type, look inside their contents, and manage the results without breaking your flow.
winget install --id BohdanKoudelka.FileSearchManager --exact
Built for real file systems
Filter, inspect, organize, transfer, archive, and open files from one focused workspace.
Search engine
Read the NTFS Master File Table for a fast initial index, follow changes live, and fall back safely to a normal directory scan when needed.
Content search
Search UTF-8, UTF-16, case-insensitive text, or hexadecimal content within the files you already filtered.
File operations
Copy, move, link, recycle, drag, drop, extract, archive, and open with compatible applications—directly from your result list.
Reusable workflows
Pin named filters, save a target basket, and export everything as one portable settings file.
Live changes
Any file that changes after the initial index shows the time and size it has right now—even while the application still holds the file open—so sorting by Changed puts it on top.
Keyboard & mouse
Rich selection controls, always-available shortcuts, sortable columns, and a complete help view keep advanced workflows discoverable.
From disk to done
The interface stays deliberately dense where it matters and gets out of your way everywhere else.
Read the complete guideLoad local drives through the optional read-only Windows service, elevated helper, or standard folder walk.
Type to narrow by name, parent folder, full path, exact directory, or file content.
Select the right results and handle them using familiar shortcuts, context menus, or drag and drop.
Recommended installation
WinGet handles the installation and keeps future updates one command away.
