INFORCE Files is a free desktop search engine for Windows 10/11 that makes scattered files findable across PCs, network drives, external hard drives, and USB flash drives.

Core idea: metasearch plus a central file archive.

Drives and folders can be scanned/archived once; afterward, they can be searched offline (i.e., without being connected)—useful for old computers and seldom-used or offloaded media.

The search is built for very high speed while remaining simple and easy to use.E.g. on a computer with a fast i9-Processor 34 disks with more than 10 Mio. files were searched in less than a second.

You can define where to search very flexibly, easily, and quickly. For example, you can set up search scopes so that, with a single click, the search runs only on the drives or folders of a specific project or other thematic collection.



You can also change the types of files to search for very easily and quickly.



Typical use cases: centrally rediscover files from many media, bring order without having everything connected all the time, and target searches on network drives or USB sticks.



Thus, INFORCE Files serves as a fast finder and as a personal or company-wide file archive for Windows.
