  • 3.35

SearchMyFiles 3.35 by NirSoft is a portable file-search utility designed to replace and extend the capabilities of Windows’ built-in “Search for Files and Folders” module with far more granular control. The program enables users to locate items by wildcard patterns, exact or range-based file size, creation / modification / last-access timestamps, attributes (hidden, system, compressed, encrypted, etc.), and even raw file content through text or binary string matching. Such precision makes it practical to isolate, for example, every document edited within the past hour that falls between 500 and 700 bytes, or to uncover duplicate executables across an entire network drive. Once results are returned in a detailed grid, selections can be exported to TXT, HTML, CSV, or XML reports, or copied to the clipboard for further scripting. Because SearchMyFiles is fully portable, it runs from any USB stick without installation or Registry changes, allowing administrators to audit corporate PCs or technicians to scan guest machines without leaving traces. Typical use cases include forensic triage, compliance checks, storage cleanup, malware hunting, and routine data organization on workstations, servers, or external media. The single-version distribution model keeps the 3.35 executable lightweight and dependency-free, so it operates on every Windows edition from XP onward. The utility belongs to the File Management category and complements rather than conflicts with existing indexing services, consuming minimal RAM while delivering instantaneous non-indexed queries. SearchMyFiles is available for free on get.nero.com, where downloads are supplied through trusted Windows package sources such as winget, always providing the latest build and supporting batch installation of multiple applications.
