   MasterSeeker > Voidtools' Everything!

   I used to love exploring alternative Windows Shells and Explorer alternatives. As a heavy power user and PC enthusiast, I needed more than what Windows Explorer and Windows Search had to offer. I used to parade voidtool's Everything until I gradually increased my storage by magnitudes of TBs. Voidtool's Everything is amazing, don't get me wrong-- but it struggled to index my years of project data and archives once I passed around 5TB... It even corrupted its own database file a handful of times... I really was pushing Everything to its limits with my excess storage sizes.

   That's when I found MasterSeeker. I decided to leave Voidtools' Everything behind for one goal-- a new file search and file manager that didn't crash and freeze up while scanning for constant file changes and indexing them. I required a replacement for Windows Search that didn't struggle with the uncountable files that I create on a day-to-day basis. I was accepting of a program that ran in the background and indexed as a Windows Service, even though it wasn't elegant and I preferred portable software.

   MasterSeeker is absolutely crushing the competition for my multiple computers. The software is portable (which means it runs on any Windows PC from a USB thumbstick). I've even deployed/tested it via Google Drive/Cloud Drives. It loads the initial index faster and more consistently than the competition. It has never corrupted itself even once (unlike the competition). It's been years since I first found Everything and after switching to MasterSeeker (2 years and counting) I haven't looked back since.

• Where to find the save files from DODI´s repacks games (Or any other Cracks)

  My go to method, which doesn't work for every game, is to search using the Everything program which is far superior to Windows search. What string of numbers you search for would be, for example, "108600" which is the number associated with Project Zomboid. See below for how I found that number. Source: 6 months ago

• Restoring ancient email from an archive

  If you don't know where profiles.ini is located, go to voidtools.com and download Search Everything. This nifty program will help you speedily locate any file on your system just by typing a few characters of the name. The more characters you type, the more narrow the results. Be mindful of the paths in the search results ... More than one program might use a file named profiles.ini. Source: 12 months ago
