DocFetcher Pros and Cons

The best thing I like about DocFetcher is I have been able to easily index all the files on my computer. I'm easily able to search for keywords within those files. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One of the things I disliked about DocFetcher is learning to use the program. I was so used to having everything linked in Google Drive and I had to learn to search in a new way. Once I learned I will never go back to the basic search like google drive offers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This indexing search tool can make finding what you're looking for more convenient. It also has translation abilities which can be useful Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The application must always be running and doesn't necessarily seem worth the process Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This software will allow you to search the contents files on your hard drives very quickly. You don't even know that it's running, but it's always there when you need it. Here are a few things I like best

* The ability to quickly choose which folders to search in is very useful.

* The daemon app that runs in the background takes no resources at all. But this little program will allow the fastest indexing of any search software.

* The index file size is incredibly very small. About 256 MB for 1 TB worth of data. Amazing.

* Can't beat the cost!! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The preview window is in unformulated plain text. The information is there, but it's just enough to verify that you are looking at the correct document before double clicking to open that particular file.

DocFetcher will index your Outlook PST files as well (Not OST files. But this doesn't work very well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The DocFetcher program allows us to perform advanced searches of documents within our pc by means of words, phrases or text strings. It is a free open source program, available in several versions (for Windows, for Linux and portable). You can search in files with different extensions: HTML, PDF, DOC, XLS, PDF, ODT, RTF, VSD, etc. It allows you to filter the document search through different indicators, in an easy and simple way. Another advantage of this program is its support, which is incredible and guides you to any doubt. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

In order to work, it is necessary to have the Java Runtime Environment program installed on your computer, as DocFetcher uses java.

Just look for documents with the extensions mentioned above, omitting music, video and image files.

In order to manage it correctly it is necessary to have knowledge about the search, but with the daily handling of the program experience is acquired obtaining with it greater benefits. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
