AimAtFile helps you find files by their content. It provides content search (full-text search) functionality based on Microsoft Indexing Service included in Windows 2000/XP/2003. There are many third party file search utilities but they scan all files each time you try to find a file. With AimAtFile, Indexing Service scans files in the background as a low-priority process. AimAtFile requests this index and returns search results. You receive a list of files matching your query immediately. You can search for files of many types: Microsoft Office Documents, HTML, PDF, Plain Text, etc.
When searching files, Windows Explorer also uses Indexing Service, but not so efficiently. These disadvantages often give the impression that Indexing Service does not help Windows Explorer to find files. As a result users often switch Indexing Service off. In contrast we suggest you switch Indexing Service on and use our program. You will be surprised how quickly you will find the files you are looking for.
The program is easy to use. The interface is very intuitive. Run the program, type a query in the Query box, click Search and you will get a list of relevant files. The query may be simple (just words that target files contain), it can be a Boolean expression, or you can create more precise queries using the Indexing Service query language.
