What UltraSearch is
UltraSearch is a Windows search tool for locating file names and content across local and external drives, USB sticks, SD cards, company networks, and SharePoint. It displays results as you type. Searches can look for text or phrases in file contents and use wildcards, regular expressions, and AND/OR terms. Direct searches in SharePoint do not require indexing.
The Free edition is for private, non-commercial use and includes 30 days of Professional features. Professional adds filters by file type, date, and file size, searches inside ZIP files, and actions to move, archive, delete, or rename multiple files from results. It also searches Google Drive and can connect to DataCentral, a central full-text and metadata index for multiple users. DataCentral runs on premises, keeps its index locally, and, according to its maker, integrates with NTFS permissions and Active Directory. UltraSearch was founded in 1998 and is headquartered in Trier, Germany. Downloads are available without registration; the maker offers an online manual and contact-form support.
