No. FileLocator Pro does not use file or content indexes and for very good reasons.
While indexing can certainly improve the speed of searches in certain circumstances there are many drawbacks.
These drawbacks include:
- Indexing requires significant processor and disk resources simply to build and maintain the index
- Indexes can become corrupt or out of sync with the actual files
- There are security implications with important data copied to a location not under user control
- It is not feasible to index every file type, especially binary files
- It is not possible to use regular expressions on indexed data
With FileLocator Pro you can be absolutely certain that every file is being searched without prejudice
for its file type nor worry that a file is not being found due to a corrupted index.
