Long Description:

PSEARCH --- Quickly locate a file anywhere on your hard disk
by letting PSEARCH find it for you!
PSEARCH is a comprehensive search utility that provides solutions
for all your file locating needs. Since PSEARCH provides many
options within a single utility it prevents you from having to
learn and pay for several independant utilities. PSEARCH is easy
to use with its help panels and menu operation, but also satisfies
power users with its command line operation. PSEARCH is fast.
PSEARCH provides unique scroll feature to let you scroll through
the results of the search. Another unique feature allows you to
view your previous PSEARCH output without performing the search
again. PSEARCH's WordPerfect and text file viewers let you browse
found files to verify they are the ones desired. PSEARCH has all
the options offered in other file search utilities built into a
professional system. If you are looking for a search utility,
PSEARCH is the answer!
PSEARCH FEATURES
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Find files by name or wildcard name
- Search for up to 5 strings of data in a file
- Scroll back through search results
- View WordPerfect and Text files with built-in viewers
- PSEARCH saves last search contents in an external file
and lets you review it at any time.
- Apply AND/OR logic to the search. I.E. Search for files
having "SMITH", "REVIEW", and "1989".
- Search multiple hard disks
- Search one or all directories or a directory tree
- Search case sensitive or any upper/lower case combination
- Shows file names found and optionally the matching lines
- Create a list of filenames found in the search
- Build a DOS .BAT file with a command to process each located
file.
- Search for filenames in .ZIP and .ARC files
- Limit text search to WORDS, PREFIXES, or SUFFIXES. This greatly
enhances the search by returning only the data you want.
- Ability to exclude files from the search process to greatly
improve search performance. I.E. Do not scan .EXE .COM .ALL
or .FIL files.
- Special filename searches allow locating files with specific
characters in their name - PS *TOM*.* PS *T*O*M*.*
- Fuzzy search for filenames. Find names sounding like "BUDGET".
Quotes from Reviews, Articles and Users:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
---------------------------------------------------------------
"PSEARCH, a Patriquin Utility, lets you search every directory
on a hard drive. PSEARCH can limit a search to a whole word
or part of a word and can ignore the case of characters."
PC Computing - Super DOS
October 1990 - Chris DeVoney

"The Patriquin Utilities replace a number of common DOS
commands..."
PC WORLD - The Best of Shareware 1990
October 1990
---------------------------------------------------------------
"Patriquin offers his entire line of utilities for $45. Since
we think some of the programs he's asking $15 for are worth
more, we highly recommend the package option. Even if you
don't end up using all the utilities, you will receive a great
collection of programs for a great price,..."
