When we save a lot of files on our computer, we can eventually have trouble finding what we are looking for. Especially if we don’t remember where we put it. Windows has a file browser, with indexing, which allows us to quickly locate any file we have on our computer. However, this search engine is very simple, too, and hardly offers filters or customization options. Therefore, there are developers who have created similar tools to help us search, and find, any file that we are looking for. And one of the most interesting programs in this regard is WizFile .
WizFile is a file browser for Windows created by the same people in charge of WizTree, one of the best programs to analyze the occupied space of our hard drives, and Bulk Image Downloader , one of the most complete tools to download images from the Internet. With this program, the developers want to help users find any file they are looking for on their computer, improving the Windows 10 search engine in every way.
Its main strength is allowing users to search for specific files within the system . And for this it allows us to carry out personalized searches and apply a series of filters that help us to refine the search to the maximum. Furthermore, it is capable of reading the master file table (MFT), and making use of the file indexing functions.
To continue improving the program, the developers have released a new version, 3.0, of this search engine. And it comes with a significant number of improvements and news that we are going to see below.
What’s new in WizFile 3.0
The first of the novelties of this program can be seen in the top bar of the program, that is, where the searches are carried out. Until now, users could only use the file type filter. However, from now on, they will be able to use two new filters: by size and by date. In addition, new filters have also been included in search queries:
- Filter by date.
- Find files modified in a certain time.
Another novelty is that, from now on, we will be able to use the “no” operator when searching on the computer. Thanks to this parameter we can filter the search results much better, filtering, for example, everything that does not meet the requirements.
Other important changes that we can find are:
- Dark theme.
- Function to run the program as administrator.
- Integration with the file explorer.
- New option to delete and reset filters.
- Remarkably improved search speed.
- Stability improvements and bug fixes.
- Control + Win + W puts the program to run in the background.
