In a recent issue I recommended the file manager XYplorer. It’s a great Windows Explorer replacement and has an outstanding non-indexed file search facility than can search both for file names and content within files with surprising speed. I noted that XYplorer was shareware but the last free version was still available. Now some good news: Richard Craggs and others have written in to let me know that the author of XYplorer has released a new free version called XYplorerFree. It’s an old version of the current commercial product but at version 5.55 it’s much more recent than the other "last free version" that I mentioned. If you haven’t yet tried XYplorer then please do so – it’s a great product. It doesn’t require installation so you can try it without risk.
