Global Search2.0

Working on a computer on a daily basis can be nerve-wracking at times, especially when you can't seem to find whatever you're looking for and the amount of files and folders on your PC is overflowing.In this scenario, you might try to use the Windows native "Search this PC" feature, but that might prove ineffective if the piece of data you're seeking is well-hidden in the contents of a file. Here's where specialized apps like Global Search come into action.

Search through file content

As stated above, this application can help you perform advanced searches on your computer. Not only it can identify files and folders on your PC, but also identify points of interest in those files by simply defining a keyword.For instance, if you need to find the term "invoice" in all of the documents on your computer, all you need to do is select where the search should be performed, type the keyword into the "Find" field and hit the "Search" button. All the matching content will be automatically highlighted.

Supports SQL servers

However, if your needs are more server-oriented, you'll be glad to know that this app also features SQL server support. So everything it does with files on your PC can be accomplished on a SQL server as well.All you need to do is select "SQL" instead of "Folder" when defining the search path, type the address of the server along with a username, a password and a database from which you want to collect data and perform your search. You can query tables, functions, stored procedures, triggers and views.

Handy global file and SQL search tool

All in all, if you need to search through various file or SQL server content in a quick, convenient manner, you can rely on Global Search. It has everything you need, comes with a simple interface and requires no installation whatsoever.
