Newbie questions

[F. Ehrhardt]

Hello, I am trying to settle on a replacement for Google Desktop Search. Anytxt is a good candidate but immediately I have questions and a problem and request help:

1. I would like results sorted always in reverse-chronological order, that is, newest at top. Don’t know if possible, and if so, how.
2. How to exclude a folder for example C:\Users\Ehrhardt\AppData\Roaming\ and all subfolders
3. Sometimes a search for a single string returns many results that are irrelevant – they do not contain that string.

Thank you!

OK, it appears that, based on another thread, this app is incapable of excluding folders and their sub-trees.

This is unfortunately a deal-breaker. If only Google had continued its support I wouldn’t we wasting so much time finding a replacement.

Hello，anytxt allows you to set search folders.

You can follow these steps to set the range of file types to search for and exclude directories that you don’t want to search.

Thank you.
