Written in C# it uses the Lucene full text search library and IFilter&#39;s to search the content of your files. Simply place the executable in the directory you want to search and it does the rest.</p> <p>Overview<br /> Have you ever want to find files on your USB or in your Dropbox and Windows Search just doesn&#39;t find? Windows Search only searches file types it know about so that can rule out lots of different files. Dropout using the follow steps to index your files:<br /> Uses IFilters (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IFilter" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IFilter</a>) to index files windows know about<br /> If you don&#39;t have a IFilter for PDF&#39;s it uses iTextSharp to extract the text (<a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/itextsharp/" rel="nofollow">http://sourceforge.net/projects/itextsharp/</a><br /> Looks at the start of the file to see if it text or binary. If it is text it indexes the content. </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/10023#post-92245 Sat, 25 Jun 2011 10:48:16 +0000 hotdoge3 92245@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p><a href="http://techcrunch.com/2011/01/01/why-we-desperately-need-a-new-and-better-google-2/" rel="nofollow">http://techcrunch.com/2011/01/01/why-we-desperately-need-a-new-and-better-google-2/</a><br /> We ended up using instead a web-search tool called Blekko. It’s a new technology and is far from perfect; but it is innovative and fills the vacuum of competition with Google (and Bing).<br /> The problem is that content on the internet is growing exponentially and the vast majority of this content is spam. This is created by unscrupulous companies that know how to manipulate Google’s page-ranking systems to get their websites listed at the top of your search results. When you visit these sites, they take you to the websites of other companies that want to sell you their goods. (The spammers get paid for every click.) This is exactly what blogger Paul Kedrosky found when trying to buy a dishwasher. He wrote about how he began Googleing for information…and Googleing…and Googleing. He couldn’t make head or tail of the results. Paul concluded that the “the entire web is spam when it comes to major appliance reviews”.<br /> <a href="http://techcrunch.com/2010/11/23/blekko-duckduckgo/" rel="nofollow">http://techcrunch.com/2010/11/23/blekko-duckduckgo/</a><br /> DuckDuckGo search results will now be powered by Blekko<br /> <a href="http://mashable.com/2011/05/17/blekko-flipboard-deal/" rel="nofollow">http://mashable.com/2011/05/17/blekko-flipboard-deal/</a><br /> <a href="http://mashable.com/2011/02/07/blekko-queries/" rel="nofollow">http://mashable.com/2011/02/07/blekko-queries/</a><br /> Blekko’s alternative, human-curated search engine now averages 1 million queries a day and between 10 to 15 queries per second just three months after launch,<br /> <a href="http://blekko.com/ws/+/press-articles" rel="nofollow">http://blekko.com/ws/+/press-articles</a> (click read more)<br /> <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2011/05/08/technology/08ping.html?_r=2" rel="nofollow">http://www.nytimes.com/2011/05/08/technology/08ping.html?_r=2</a><br /> Google led me to 1.9 million pieces of advice, both good and suspect.<br /> But also among the search results were how-to articles like one saying that if I sipped tea brewed from ground celery seeds or corn silk, the stone would pass within hours.

Spyware silently tracks your surfing behavior to create a marketing profile for you that is transmitted without your knowledge to the compilers and sold to advertising companies. If you see new toolbars in your Internet Explorer that you haven't intentionally installed, if your browser crashes inexplicably, or if your home page has been "hijacked" (or changed without your knowledge), your computer is most probably infected with spyware. Even if you don't see the symptoms, your computer may be infected, because more and more spyware is emerging. Spybot-S&#38;D is free, so there's no harm giving it a try to see if something has invaded your computer. SpyBot-S&#38;D allows you to exclude selected cookies, programs or extensions from being reported, allowing you to prevent false positive messages for items that you dont want to be alerted of every time. It can even scan your download directory for files that have been downloaded, but not yet installed, allowing you to detect unwanted programs before you even install them. SpyBot produces a detailed and easy to understand report before it deletes any files and allows you to deselect any item that you do not want to be processed. In addition, a recovery feature allows you to restore your settings if needed. </p> <p>Source/ Screeshots/ download link --&gt; <a href="http://www.neowin.net/index.php?act=view&#38;id=42367" rel="nofollow">http://www.neowin.net/index.php?act=view&#38;id=42367</a> </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/1551#post-9599 Fri, 24 Aug 2007 18:07:56 +0000 gapopeyes 9599@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Hey Guys/Gals,</p> <p>I've installed this screen capture tool and used it since it was given away and today when i try to run it it asks for serial number!!!
