Searchmonkey will help you quickly find files. You just have to tell the application where to look and you have to tell it what you’re looking for (file name, content, and more). Type a bit of info into the application, initiate the search process, and a list of results will be displayed on Searchmonkey’s interface.

Searchmonkey is available for multiple platforms: Windows, Linux, and FreeBSD; a Mac version is coming soon.
Focusing on Micorsoft’s OS, it must be said that Searchmonkey will work with any Windows edition from XP onward. It must also be mentioned that installing Searchmonkey will take little time; it’s an effortless process that goes along smoothly and quickly.

Searchmonkey’s interface is divided into two sections: the one to the left allows you to input the parameters of the search; the one to the right allows you to view the results of the search. Above these two sections, in the upper left hand side, where it’s usually located, there’s a File Menu.

Two search modes are available: Quick and Advanced. You can switch between them from the Edit menu, the Mode submenu. Quick Mode invites you to enter the following search parameters: folder, filenames, content. Advanced Mode invites you to enter a few more search parameters: search all subdirectories, case sensitive, skip hidden, pick the date and time, pick the file size.

Say you tell Searchmonkey to look in the TEST folder and find files with the content “George”. Run the search and the panel in the upper right hand side will list all the files that contain the word “George”. Say there’s a text document in this list; select it and the panel in the lower right hand side will display the contents of the document, with the word George highlighted in red.

Searchmonkey is free software released under a GNU General Public License (GPL).

Can’t find a file? Searchmonkey was created to help you with such a situation. It is a free tool that will help you find files.

Pros

Searchmonkey is available for multiple platforms. Installing the application on a Windows PC goes along smoothly and rapidly. Pick between Quick and Advanced Mode. Using Searchmonkey is straightforward: enter the search parameters, initiate the search, analyze the search results. Searchmonkey is free software.

Cons

None that I could think of.
