SAM - Search and Mining

Search and mine files on your computer or on your internal network. For anyone crunching through documents, presentations, spreadsheets, and other files in large directories of thousands of folders and files. It feels like Internet search engine but does more. When mining, you can extract patterns from either a single file or a whole slew of files. Select an option when searching and all instances of your pattern are returned from documents. For mining sessions use regular expressions.

It is fast giving you on the fly results but does not create an index. So your computer is not bogged down while you are doing other tasks. Runs only when you press the button. To speed search and mining sessions relies on your settings to point to the approximate location, reject files of no interest, access files of interest, set the number of returns, set the context level. Maintains history and lets you save previous sessions so you can duplicate then modify your analysis. Version 1.2 includes unspecified updates.
