UltraFinder: Fast Search Across PC, Network, and Servers

UltraFinder is your personal search engine for your PC, network, and remote servers!

UltraFinder is a quick and lightweight Windows search utility. Find any file, word, text string, pattern, and duplicate files anywhere. UF runs search on hard drives, shared and network volumes, removable drives, and even on remote FTP/SFTP servers!



UltraFinder can locate files by both name and content. Supports plain text files, PDFs, Word docs and other Office files. Can also be configured to find files on your local, network, or even FTP drives.


Duplicate files create clutter and eat valuable system disk space. UltraFinder makes it easy to locate and clean these on your system.


Want to find matches by pattern or filter? Set up a regex search for maximum flexibility. Want a faster search on your hard drive? Search the Master File Table (MFT) directly. Countless other options make it a breeze to tune your search to your exact liking.


UltraFinder integrates seamlessly with UltraEdit and UEStudio. Take any number of results and send them over UltraEdit for editing, or launch an UltraFinder session directly from UltraEdit / UEStudio.


Want to verify a couple of duplicate files are actually duplicates before you delete them? Or want to see differences between two files from your file search? With UltraCompare integration you can easily launch a compare of the two files.
