Installation Error :
Unsupported operating system
I’m using Vista Home Premium
System Requirements: Windows 2000/XP/2003 Server
Vista is not supported yet!
I’m most most intrigued how Search GT can get such “fast results” without preindexing. (it is definitely impressive).
My current Free search favorite “Locate32″ does require preindexing – but also provides instant “Search as you type” results.
Search As You Type isn’t really practical without a preindex database. The results from “Search GT” may not be instant – but it comes awful close. Smoke and Mirrors.
Very nice concept of having a different type of Explorer, but this program needs a little more functionality. I daresay that Windows Explorer is better.
Let’s start with my search terms. In Search GT I put in “Code Geass” without the quotes. I search, and everything with “Code Geass” pops up. Only 1 file.
When I went to Explorer and put in “Code Geass” everything with it as the keyword pops up. In Search GT it was only a .txt file. In Explorer it found 50 something .mp3 files, with “Code_Geass” in the title, which was what I was looking for. So I conclude that the keyword has to be exact, or even a missing space or underscore can screw up results.
Search GT is lightweight and in my opinion faster than Explorer, but unless you know the exact file name and find Explorer too slow, it has worse functionality than Explorer.
However, I must compliment the company for making a lightweight alternative to Explorer.
