SeekFast Reviews & Product Details

Among the many different types of searches, I perform using SeekFast are those involving scanned student assignments, word documents, and an ebook library as well as scanned heavy volumes in pdf format. I've had no issues at all. In terms of design, the interface is very clean and intuitive, with no unnecessary toolbars or complex split-screen views (even though some would prefer that on a bigger screen).

Even with 4GB of RAM three-year-old student laptop PC (not from the powerful series), SeekFast runs smoothly and quickly on the minimum requirement. It's incredible how quickly SeekFast reads the documents on HDD, but I found on SSD a lot quicker (27 files in 17.1 seconds). SeekFast seems to work nicely with minimum requirement PC spec. I don't believe any other equivalent tool today could match SeekFast's efficiency and stability.

It's also a good idea to not include a full document viewer in the app because it would significantly slow it down. Searching for information on a computer is much more enjoyable when the PC's default document reader is a lite pdf or document reader. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't think that there is anything to dislike about SeekFast. Even on a 3-year-old Athlon system with 4GB of RAM, the software did not hog memory when searching through 40+ OCR scanned pdfs ranging in size from 2-6MB. Using the same PC, I've encountered troubles with a flashing screen or a temporary "not responding" when using other similar tools. CTRL+ Mouse Scroll allows you to resize the displayed text, which is a lot more convenient. However, I don't know if there is an option to change the interface to dark mode. It will actually benefit the user's eyesight when used for long periods of time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the sheer speed for searching hundreds of Microsoft Word files for a string of characters without indexing. Then it has an easy click to go view the find without opening the Word program and then using Word's search feature. It enables me to search over 14,000 index cards of information in seconds. I have downloaded and often bought programs that promised to search my word processing files with the same speed as my old DOS-based program did, but none of them worked. I always had to go open my word processor one a string of characters was found and then do a search withing the filed I opened. With SeekFast, the string of characters is found in seconds, in every location in the folder, and with one click I can view the particular file, scroll until I can see the title, and pull the hard copy from the drawers around my work station. It was inexpense to purchase the full program and the support at SeekFast has been quick, professional, and solved any questions I had about how best to use it.

There is NOTHING I dislike about this program. I use it every week and multiple times a week. It was the culmination of regular searches for a search engine that does what it does. I had been looking ever since Windows replaced the DOS platform. I had a DOS program that worked beautifully, but as Windows appeared with its more complicated program language, the DOS program became ineffective. SeekFast was the culmination of a 10-year search for a program that does exactly what it does. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
