Do you have any desktop search utility installed in your computer? I have tried Google Desktop, Copernic Desktop search and Windows search. I found all of them a bloatware and creating huge index file. In order to have more real estate in my hard disk for movies, I had uninstalled these softwares long time back.
Snowbird is lightweight (only 267 KB) search utility and it is much faster than Windows built in search utility. Though it is not as fast as the dedicated search utility software like Google Desktop, Copernic Desktop etc. As these softwares carry a high overhead. Creating and maintaining the indexes eats up a lot of processor power, and the indexes themselves take up a lot of disk space. In comparison to this; Snowbird is light on system resources resources and takes mere 1 MB of disk space. And another good feature is that it can be run from the USB Drive as well.
The application maybe limited to three basic function: file search, file transfer and browsing folders like Windows Explorer. However the developer has ensured that the utility is able to do
-
Fast Search
- Efficiently copy large amounts of data. Skip errors while copying and even pause transfers temporarily.
- Browse faster: Access extremely large folders and network resources at lightning speed. Navigate faster using bookmarks, mouse gestures and Vista-style breadcrumb navigation.
Give this app a try and you will find a good addition for your Flash Drive.
