Search for ANYTHING using EVERYTHING

  • Ever wanted to quickly find all the doc files in your PC?
  • Or all jpg files where the name starts with D and ends with an A + contains a 1 in the middle?
  • Love wildcards for searching??
  • Even better, wish you can use regular expressions for searching?
  • Wish that everything was indexed and it was a matter of typing to search for something?
  • Want your files to be indexed REAL TIME but without hogging up your RAM?
  • Love Google’s simple search box?

You need EVERYTHING! :D
EVERYTHING will search for ANYTHING and EVERYTHING the WAY you WANT it :D

Just give it a few minutes to index all your files and you are good to go! Just simply enter a query with/without wildcards and the results are immediately shown! Everything registers it self for file changes and automatically updates the index.
Everything is very low on resource consumption. I have made everything index all my files and that is exactly 301,695 files and it takes less than 20MB.

One of the most coolest features of Everything is that it can start an HTTP/ETP/FTP server on any port and (with username/password authentication) you can connect to your computer from anywhere and browse all the indexed files + download them :D




Other features include
  • Context Menu Integration
  • Export Search Results (txt format)
  • Exclude items from your search (File/Folder/Pattern)
  • Hot Key support
  • Match cAsE/Whole Word/Path/Regex
  • Use Boolean operators! (w00t!)
  • Automatic Update
  • Runs on Windows 7 (64-bit too)!
  • Its FREE!
Bad Side
  • No network location indexing (You need to run Everything on both computers and start an ETP server)
  • No file content indexing (only file names)
  • Only NTFS partitions supported!
  • Windows Only!

Torrent-Damage -> Torrent-Wiki

As you might have noticed one of the popular bit torrent tracker named Torrent-Damage.net is down!
The reason as i found out was some issue with the domain, the site is working perfectly fine!
Their new (maybe temporary) URL will be torrent-wiki.net

If you are in the middle of leeching/seeding a torrent please change the tracker url to
tracker.torrent-wiki.net/blah blah


www.Torrent-Wiki.net


Please say a little thank you if this helps you! :)

Google Chrome Extensions

I've being a hard-core Firefox fan but now Google Chrome is tempting me very much!!! First it was the Grease Monkey scripts that Chrome supported and now there are about 100 useful (almost similar to Firefox) extensions in the Google Chrome Extension website!! Installing an extension does not need a restart (well, uninstalling doesn't need either!)

Well Stumble Upon and some neat extensions are rocking Google Chrome!!! True that Chrome does not have a huge addon repository like Firefox but I'm betting on it!

Install the latest Developer Preview of Chrome and try out all those neat extensions!

Your one stop solution to be online in all your IM Messengers + Email Accounts + Social Networking Sites

Seriously, how many instant messengers and web browsers windows you have to have opened to chat, view email and connect with your social networking buddies?

For me, just one simple application! Digbsy!

First of all Digsby is a MULTI-PROTOCOL Instant Messenger! It can support AIM, MSN, Yahoo, ICQ, Google Talk, Jabber, and Facebook Chat!! Yes people, FACEBOOK chat too :D :D

 

Apart from these you can have fully customizable messaging windows!

OK… no more multiple windows!!! Do it the TAB style :D

Merge all Roberts Yahoo, MSN and Facebook chat in to one! :)

Find all your conversation, quickly! Really really quickly!

One of my favourite feature is the Digsby Widget :D This allows you to embed a widget in your blog or favourite which the visitors can chat with you live while you are using your desktop Digsby application

Another very cool feature is the ability to carry on conversation without the window taking up half of your screen and blocking your precious screen space. This also allows to quickly respond to messages without stopping what you are really doing.

 

OK… that’s all about instant messaging but that doesn’t stop there! The email functionality of Digsby is very extensive!

Digsby supports Hotmail, Gmail, Yahoo Mail, AOL/AIM Mail, IMAP, and POP accounts

The another very awesome feature is to the ability to keep up with all the social networking sites. Facebook, Twitter, MySpace and LinkedIn accounts are supported. You can even update your status using Digsby :)
