Search32 is the fastest 32-bit text retrieval tool for Windows 95 and Windows NT 
operating systems. Designed for frequent word or word combination retrieval from
text files (ASCII/ANSI) totaling tens or even hundreds of Megabytes. 
 
Unlike standard search programs, such as Windows 95's Find tool, Search32 uses
specially created ancillary index files. This requires additional disk space 
(index file size is usually 30 - 60% of source files) but performs searches 
amazingly fast. 
 
Especially useful when performing numerous search queries on the same groups of 
files. 
 
Index creation is fast and easy. 
 
 
FEATURES REGARDING INDEXES: 
 
Work with many index files or indexes simultaneously. Easily create update or 
remove indexes. 
 
NEW!  Automatic imperceptible background updating of indexes. Indexes stay 
up-to-date automatically. No need for manual updates. Interface options allow 
user to designate any or all indexes as automatically updatable. 
 
One index can include unlimited text files. Viability is limited only by available
system memory. 
 
Easily add or remove files from existing indexes or create new indexes quickly. 
 
Updates in even less time than it takes to create a new index. 
 
Create and search remote indexes on Microsoft local networks. (This version is
local and doesn't allow indexes to be shared). 
 
Optional setting allows Search32 to update all indexes at launch.

For example easily find all files with entries of one particular word and no 
entries of another. 
 
Query results displayed almost instantly. Amazingly fast operation.

total number of entries found.

REQUIREMENTS: 
 
Windows 95, Windows NT operating systems. Search32 is not compatible with 
Windows 3.x. 
 
 
INSTALLATION: 
 
For previously installed versions of Search32 1.03.xxxx and earlier it is 
recommended the existing version be uninstalled before installing the current 
version. This allows installation in the same directory (use Windows 95 Control 
Panel Add/Remove Programs). 
 
Early versions are VB-applications (the current is Delphi-application) and have 
a different uninstall utility which correctly removes all VB-components from the 
disk. Uninstall does not remove "Indexes" directory, the indexes themselves or 
Search32.cfg. These should be removed manually. It is recommended when installing 
newer version that you remove old indexes. The new indexing structure may differ. 
 
 
EVALUATION TERM AND REGISTRATION: 
 
Evaluate Search32 for 30 days (or 50 calls).  After this Search32 remains fully 
functional except automatic index updating will be disabled.
