Find Files By Metadata Software

Find Files By Metadata Software is a simple tool that can search for files by metadata text. It features intuitive options that can be figured out even by users with no previous experience in such apps.

Set the scan scope and key phrase

It adopts a user-friendly interface made from a standard window with a clean and intuitive structure, where you can get started by adding a folder to find files in, as well as to specify the phrase obtained from the file's metadata. Sample files and folders are provided in this regard.

Find, move or delete files

The utility can be asked to match the case, include or exclude subfolders in the scan job, remove files from the disk after you examine search results, as well as to copy the results details to the Clipboard or save them to plain text documents for closer inspection.
In addition, it can remove all results containing or not containing a specific phrase, send items to the Recycle Bin instead of permanently removing them from the disk, or move them to a different folder if you want to keep the files. Apart from the fact that you can clear results to restart the session, there are no other notable options provided by this program.

Evaluation and conclusion

It didn't put a strain on the overall performance of the computer in our tests, using low CPU and RAM. No error dialogs popped up and it didn't hang or crash. File search operations were carried out rapidly.
On the other hand, the trial edition has some severe limitations that do not let you properly evaluate Find Files By Metadata Software. On top of that, the feature lineup doesn't justify the price of the registered edition, especially when taking into account that there are other apps offering similar functions for free.
