Csv File Search

Sometimes, it can be helpful to have a way of locating specific records within numerous CSV spreadsheets, without having to open and search through each document.
Csv File Search is an easy-to-use application that can save you a lot of time and effort. It can locate multiple documents in a selected folder based on preset criteria, display their contents and export records to separate files.
It features a minimalistic interface that should not be challenging for novices, as the program's functions are straightforward and easily accessible.

Scan multiple documents

After launching the utility, you can choose a search path to have the application scan the selected directory and its subfolders for CSV files.
The search criteria can consist of a single word or phrase, as well as multiple terms separated by commas.
Csv File Search then displays records extracted from each document in individual blocks.

Customize scanning criteria

The program can find data using multiple methods, depending on the information you can provide or the records you need to locate.
You can search for the specified word anywhere in a field, as well as restrict the results to entries that start with certain terms or are an exact match to defined criteria.
It is also possible to perform searches with the use of soundex or metaphone algorithms, although these operations are significantly slower.

Extract and export data

Once you have located the desired records, multiple operations can be performed. You can, for example, copy individual rows to the clipboard and paste them in any text editor.
Additionally, you can export the entries to individual CSV files or merge them into a single output document. If you choose to separate them, a new spreadsheet is created for each results block.
All in all, Csv File Search is a simple and efficient tool that can help you search for records within numerous CSV files at the same time, and then export them to single or multiple spreadsheets.
