DigSearch
Search That Will Always Work.
Drop a folder. Search names or contents. Then keep digging without ever starting over.
Windows and Mac search both quit on you the moment things get difficult. Or sometimes, they just don't work at all. That's fun. DigSearch was built for the moment after, when you have a thousand hits and you need to keep filtering until you find the one file that matters.
Stack as many filters as you want. Lock a result set, search inside it, lock that, search inside that. You will find what you need.
What DigSearch does for you
Three things every working day, that built-in OS search will never do for you.
Find anything, anywhere
Drag any folder or drive in to start. Search filenames or file contents, with results streaming in as the walker runs.
Stack filters forever
Cascading tiers let you narrow a thousand results into the three that matter, one filter at a time, without ever retyping a query.
Save your search
When you find the chain of filters that works, save the whole session to JSON and reopen it the next time you need the same answer.
Free to try, fair to own
Every core feature works in the free build. Registration lifts the limits, unlocks Save Session and the portable USB build, and supports the next thirty years of independent shareware.
