When it comes to LAN search, speed is the number one issue. And with its new search algorithm, BGSoft's Network Searcher 3.4 leaves no wiggle room to competition. Thanks to the improved multithreaded search engine, the software produces almost instant LAN search results even in large corporate networks with thousands of computers connected together. Another significant advantage of Network Searcher is that it searches even through hidden shares and resources, finding files other applications can not. Importantly, Network Searcher gives its users an easy way to limit the search scope. Users can set the IP range to search through "subnetworks" or use program's search resources tree to limit the search to desired networks, domains, computers and user groups, disks or folders. Moreover, there is a convenient search filter feature that speeds the search up by looking for files that match certain parameters, like file type, name size or date. All search results can be saved as txt, html, xml or WinAmp playlist files and sorted out by the user. There is also a convenient search scheduler feature that allows people to perform searches at a set time, while they are away eating launch or on business. Network Searcher comes with a few additional handy perks, like a capability to create network MP3 lists and an option to view recent installations report. Naturally, the program performs local computer search as well. Network Searcher 3.4 is distributed electronically over the Internet; free demo version is available at http://www.bgsoft.net/ for evaluation. The price of a single copy is 34.95 US Dollars; a ten-user Business License (149.95 US Dollars) and Unlimited Site License (499.95 US Dollars) are available as well.
