"In order to
meet my heavy daily data retrieval requirements, I have desperately
tried all the "biggies of desktop search" -- Google, Copernic, MSN
Toolbar, Lookout, Yahoo Desktop (X1), etc. Hands down, nothing compares
to Filehand in terms of functionality, ease of use and resource
utilization. It just works -- and that's what I need."
-- Dudley Anderson, Chief Financial Officer, Burzynski Research
Institute, Inc.

Who needs it?
You do...
For the "casual" or even "reluctant" computer
user, you don't need to remember where those files are, or have to
navigate through all those folders anymore. Just type in a couple of
words and, voila, your file pops up.
For the professional: lawyer, doctor, engineer,
professor,...: you probably have lot of documents, specifications,
briefs. And most of those are probably in PDF. Filehand
Search instantly finds the PDF and displays the extracts of the
files in text. You won't have to open the file to find the
information you're looking for. It will be right in front of
you.
Students: Use Filehand Search to find your MP3 files and play
them without looking all over for them. Oh, and your homework
paper you can't find.
