   Pros, Cons

   I love DocFetcher! I discovered this gem of a program when Windows stopped supporting string searches in word processors other than Word.

   🏁 Competitors: the generic string search available in Windows, Agent Ransack, Locate32, Everything by Voidtools

   👍 Pros:    Beautiful intuitive interface. easy to use, once you set up the index.

   👎 Cons:    If you have a large collection of files to index, you will eventually be unable to search all your documents at the same time. you have to set up separate indexes and search each one separately. available in a variety of versions, up to 64 bit.|The help files are good. however, learning how to set up an index can be frustrating.

• Boost DX, Enhance UX, and Skyrocket Profits! Dive into a sub-50ms world with Edge Feature Flags 🚀

  AWS CloudWatch Evidently The worst. No comment. AWS seems to perpetually lack a good DX for developers. It appears that they don't recognize or continually undervalue the importance of roles other than engineers, such as Product Managers or Designers. Very disappointing. However, AWS has recently acquired Fig, so looks like they're now pursuing an acquisition strategy instead. Let's see how it turns it out, and... - Source: dev.to / 9 months ago

• Tool to parse, index, and search local documents? - Windows

  I use https://docfetcher.sourceforge.net/en/index.html to index and search large repos of docs. I use Papermerge for my digital file cabinet though. DocFetcher is good for searching an existing repository of files. Source: over 1 year ago

• Docfetcher is a cross-platform free and open source desktop search application

  As they state, it is crap-free, free forever, cross-platform, portable, private (local only), and indexes only what you need. You can also set minimum and maximum file sizes to index. See https://docfetcher.sourceforge.net/en/index.html. Source: over 1 year ago

• Career Advice for a fresh graduate who wants to enter Structural Engineering field

  What I'd recommend is setting up a digital and/or physical technical library. Download any useful documents, books, standards etc. and store them in a clear, concise folder structure. Then create an index of the library with a tool like DocFetcher. (Think of it as Google for your technical library) This should make it fast and easy to find the relevant information when you need it. Source: over 1 year ago

• How do you organize yourself?

  I use Outlook for e-mail and calendars. I use Evernote to store my notes. I also have a folder in Dropbox called "docs" where I store TXT (and others like DOCX and PDF etc) files for tasks/projects like the cisco firmware update example. I use DocFetcher (https://docfetcher.sourceforge.net/en/index.html) to perform search on the stored notes in TXT / DOCX / PDF / etc. Source: over 1 year ago
