   Some weeks ago I posted this message, but, alas, the problem is still alive.

   Dear GODT,
   I am seeking for a computer document searching tool. I know there are a lot of freewares, like Copernic Desktop Search, Google DS, Yahoo DS, X1 DS and so on, but these programs are large, have tons of unwanted (by me) features and makes my pc to work slower.
   I would like to have a program which is
   - relative small and fast,
   - searches inside document contents,
   - searches in .txt, .html, .rtf, .doc, .pdf, .xls documents,
   - has a built-in viewer.
   I found such a program: diskMETA-Personal. The authors are from Ukraine, their English site is http://diskmeta.com/en/ .
   Try to contact them, maybe they agree to offer this program as a giveaway. It would be nice.
   Thanks in advance:
   Andrea

   is this something that could be what you are looking for:

   its a standalone, and very tiny in size:

   Snowbird 6.1
   June 25, 2007 - Screenshot - Download (22 KB)
   It's still the smallest and fastest non-indexing search tool! Maybe it can't search any faster, but you can find your results still faster now!
   Snowbird 6 displays results in real-time as the search progresses
   The new preview window lets you peek at text files, pictures and webpages from within Snowbird
   Changes in version 6.1:

   Save results as a HTML page
   Option to search for a specific kind of file, eg. Pictures

   ender:
   Thanks, it is indeed a nice little software. I downloaded it, it is small and fast too. Definitely I will use it.

   The program diskMETA-personal gives, however, much better search results. So, if GOTD could get it for us, I would be glad.

   WOW Indeed Archangel!!!
   It is a lot of work. This is Fantastikkk :-D
   I very much appreciate the fact it's grouped/divided into categories, plus a description! Much easier to consult.
   Have to say it again: WOW!!!

   I've been reading a LOT of old posts, but hadn't come across this one yet.
   There are many treasures buried in the GOTD "vaults".
   Oh yeah, it's going into my BM presto!!

   Thank you Archangel & Thank you Graylox for discovering it!
   Yes, it deserves to be on top again.
   Peace, M
