Finders Keepers is a Windows® 95/98/NT/2K/XP disk utility that finds any words or expressions inside any files on your computer or local network. Four different kinds of file searches--not counting indexed text retrieval--will find anything you're looking for, even if you don't know how to spell it, or it is misspelled in the files. You have 6 choices on how to view, edit, or launch the found files. There are many options for advanced users, including regular expressions similar to grep, but non-technical users can operate the program easily.
Find anything inside the files on your drives, disks, or LAN.
Find names even if you don't know how to spell them.
