What is Local Find?
Local Find is a desktop search application designed for Windows computers to help users easily find files, emails, documents, photos, and other content stored locally on their PC. It builds an index of all the content on your hard drives which allows you to search through your files at lightning speed without having to manually browse folders.
Once installed, Local Find sits quietly in the background indexing the contents of your hard drives. You can then open the Local Find interface and enter search queries to instantly see relevant results pop up. It allows you to filter results by file type, date modified, size and other attributes. You can also save frequent searches as shortcuts.
Key features include:
- Quickly search files, folders, emails, photos, etc. on your PC
- Indexing capability for near-instant search results
- Filter and sort results easily
- See preview snippets of documents and files
- Save frequent searches as shortcuts
- Customizable interface with optional dark mode
- Free basic version available
Local Find offers a faster and more convenient way to find your files compared to the basic Windows search. It's useful for personal computers as well as shared work devices. The free version covers basic search needs while affordable paid upgrades provide additional power user features and expanded indexing capabilities.
