Find Lost File Quickly

September 29th, 2006

I’m sure it’s very common to lost track of our files or important documents in our PC. When that happens, we will be squishing our head trying to remember where we put it.
The easiest way to find it back is by doing a complete search. This probably will take a long time depending on your hard drive capacity and the number of files on your machine. For Windows users, the search can be done by pressing the Start at the bottom left of your screen and then select Search.

However, if you want to find your file fast, I mean really fast that take a couple of seconds, searching through the whole hard disk would not be a good way.

Luckily, Google has come out a new tool call Google Desktop Search. You can download it for free and install to your PC. After installing, it needs to index all your files and that might take a while. But it is a one time deal. After the indexing, you can search your desktop for files, web history and even your local emails quickly!
