RapidFetch

Tired of the regular windows search, the windows start menu, or navigating folders the slow way to find your documents, music, pictures, and any other miscellaneous files? This remarkably fast desktop search utility and file launcher lets you locate and open files on-demand, and returns results as you type!
DeDupify

Personal computers are notorious for amassing clutter. File backups and moving files from one computer to another can leave your hard disk sprinkled with redundant files. DeDupify provides a fast and easy way to find those duplicates and consolidate them. Search results can also be saved and revisited at a later date.

No install required. Both apps require the .NET 2.0 framework to run,

so if you get an error like this:
"To run this application, you first must install one of the following versions of the .Net Framework: V2.0.50727"
 

download .NET from Microsoft here.

Why another search utility? RapidFetch was built to address the following needs:

Problem RapidFetch Solution
Windows explorer makes it tedious to search multiple folders at the same time. Provides labelled folder groups to search multiple areas of your computer simultaneously.
The built-in search in windows explorer is slow and doesn't facilitate multiple searches in quick succession. Pre-searches folder groups on the fly and returns instantaneous results as you type to help guide and refine your search.
Frequently-accessed areas of your computer such as the windows start menu, my documents, my music, favorites, internet history, etc, can involve repetitive, tedious, and time-consuming clicking and then browsing files to find and open what you're looking for. User-created or built-in folder groups double as instant "start menus" by simply clicking the relevant group, typing a part of the keyword until your result appears, and pressing enter or double clicking to open it.
Other desktop search engines don't allow partial searches, meaning if you can't remember the exact keyword you're looking for, the correct results won't show up. Partial searches are supported. As soon as the first letter is typed in, results containing that letter appear immediately.
There's no built-in way to get a file and folder listing. The search results can be saved to a spreadsheet.
No easy-to-reach search exists on the Windows taskbar. When idle, RapidFetch can be conveniently hidden to the system tray, ready to be activated with a mouse-click.

Best of all, it's free, and continuously being improved through user input!
