Text Filterer is an advanced full text search tool for Windows. It instantly searches for single words, partial words, Boolean word combinations, or exact phrases within hierarchically organized collections of documents. Classic Explorer-like interface allows you to easily switch between found documents viewing their contents in the preview pane, and navigate through the found entries in the text forward and back. Search results can be additionally narrowed by conditions imposed on document name, location, date/time, size, title, author, subject, etc. You create search queries as persistent filters stored with a collection, so you can reuse them in different work sessions. Switching between predefined filters gives you an effective way to explore the contents of a collection. Besides plain text files, Text Filterer searches in RTF, XLS, HTML, PDF and Unicode files, and uses MS Word (if installed) while indexing DOC and other MS Word supported files. With Excel files, Text Filterer provides capability to instantly search multiple files for data by Excel columns and rows presenting search results in one view. Text Filterer shows search results in the list view, with documents (or their parts called snippets) as rows, and their attributes as columns much like Windows Explorer does. For a collection of documents containing a series of text snippets, similar across the collection, you can make the snippets units of your searches instead of entire documents. For a collection of documents having distinguishable pieces of data, similar across the collection, you can create user-defined data fields to make Text Filterer selectively search inside those pieces of data. Column data of a search result can be saved to a tab-delimited text file for later processing with a spreadsheet or database application. Found documents can be saved to a chosen folder with the option to convert them into plain-text copies. Text Filterer has built-in support for working with multilingual texts.
