Description: ------------ KEY Search is a Windows 3.1 application that allows you to quickly and easily search for files containing a keyword or combination of keywords that you specify. KEY Search will produce a list of the files that match your search criteria from which you can launch associated applications, add descriptions or manual keywords and drag and drop onto compatible applications. In order to achieve such fast keyword searches, KEY Search must initially log the files that you wish to search and extract the keywords. These keywords are then placed in a database along with file details and cross references linking the files with the keywords. Once this information is in place, KEY Search has no need to access the files again unless new ones are added or existing ones changed. A keyword search is then simply a case of accessing the database files rather than the files you are searching , giving a great speed advantage. Here are some outstanding features of KEY Search: Fast. The advanced database engine used by KEY Search ensures a fast keyword search every time, no matter how many files you have logged. Multiple Document Interface. KEY Search uses the Windows MDI, enabling it to display as many file list windows on the screen as your computer's memory can cope with. This means that you can carry out one search after another and switch between the resultant lists of files at will. Drag And Drop Support. From a KEY Search file list you can drag and drop your files onto compatible applications, just like you can in File Manager. You can also launch associated applications simply by double-clicking on a filename. Easy To Use. A simple interface with a button bar, comprehensive on-line and context sensitive help makes KEY Search straightforward in operation. Short Description: ------------------ KEY Search v 1.01.
