The desktop file search engine and API (for easy ActiveX COM scripting)

SearchMaestro is a powerful and robust desktop file search engine which can locate files across your network quickly and easily. You can save and load your search parameters for easy repetition of searches, and save your results to XML or CSV file format. You can share your parameter files with colleagues easily to save them time. You can search the contents of files with easy or pattern matching, using full regular expressions if you like. Take care of tedious tasks by automating searches across your network using the API (ActiveX COM), which builds upon the functionality in the graphical user interface, and allows you to create scripting files for repeated use and scheduling. You can either use a saved search, or create a new one dynamically. A fully commented VBScript example is included. You can retrieve detailed information about each file in an easy to understand format, and save the information to wherever you want. You can use the full parameter set to search each file s contents, and then save the results and parameters. SearchMaestro is tuned to the way you search, automatically saving all the files and folders that you have selected to search within. So after the first search you save time because a complete file list has already been created; SearchMaestro only needs to check each file and folder against the new or modified search parameters you have specified. You can add files and folders into SearchMaestro quickly and easily just by dropping them onto the SearchMaestro shortcut.
