Everything Search Engine - The very useful file finder

If you're like me and good at naming files, but not so good at remembering exactly where you left them on your computer, the Everything Search Engine is an excellent tool.

Unlike heavy weight applications such as Google Desktop Search which searches the contents of the files, Everything simply indexes the file name and can index the contents of a whole hard drive in seconds and best of all its free.

The only downside is that it only works on NTFS drives and not FAT32

This is a screenshot showing all the files on my PC with the word mumbles in it

Not that I'm trying to scare you...

Just thought I'd draw your attention to this graphic from the Guardian about what happens if we don't start doing something about global warming.
