10-Strike Network File Search Editor's Review

'10-Strike Network File Search' it's a search engine app which allows you to search files on network computers. It uses the NetBios protocol. You can only find shared files. You can search either after a search phrase or after a file mask.

The program can generate and save handy reports of the search. After the search is finished, you can see the file's properties, download,preview or open it. In addition, you can open the folder where it is located or simply download it to your computer or to any other computer on the network if you have enough permission.

While I've tested the program, I was impressed by the speed of the searching process. If you want to search only on a few computers from the network, you can specify this in the 'Computer Filter' menu by selecting the specific computers. You can also specify the computers from the list, which will not be included in the search. Another interesting feature is that you can select the size of the file. You can chose to be less or greater than a selected value. You can even select the dates between which the file should have been created.

The interface is very intuitive and easy to use.

Pluses: It works faster than Windows search engine. It can preview images, multimedia, office documents, PDF files found after searching.

Drawbacks / flaws:

In conclusion: I enjoyed testing this program. It is among the best I've seen. I look forward for the next release.
