The record

Purpose: WizFile is a high speed file finder for Windows that searches files by name, path, size, and date.
Live results: Search results appear almost instantly and update in real time as file changes are detected.
NTFS scanning: On NTFS drives, WizFile reads the Master File Table directly to build its file database quickly.
Drive support: WizFile supports non-NTFS hard drives, network drives, USB drives, and individual directories.
Search tools: Search supports whole-path matching, multiple terms, customizable filters, and regular expressions.
Storage: File data is held in RAM without an external database file, and WizFile is described as portable.
Preview integration: With Seer or QuickLook running, users can press Space on a selected file in WizFile to preview it.
Security update: The version 3.14 release notes say a possible issue where illegal file names could cause the wrong file to open on double-click was fixed.
Privacy: The published privacy policy covers the website and says it does not apply to other linked websites.
Payment processing: The maker says payments are handled by PayPal or Stripe and that it does not see customers’ credit card details.
Support: The free version has no support, the supporter version has limited support, and enterprise users receive priority support.
Commercial licensing: Commercial use requires a supporter code for each business site, with the license type determined by staff count.
Who it suits: The maker describes the free version as for personal use and offers business-size-based licenses for commercial organizations.
