- 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.

- system memory.
-
- Easily add or remove files from existing indexes or create new indexes quickly.

- 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.
