The other problem is that its start-up time is extremely slow. But, while it bills itself a “Google Desktop Search Alternative” is still appears not to have any sort of acceptable in-file preview on its search results. ( Update: the maker has commented, noting it’s GPL and copies may be freely redistributed – I think he means the source-code rather than the compiled version).Ģ) The developer of the freeware AnyTXT Searcher has been knocking the rough edges off it and expanding file types, over the last year. Still, by 2021 it might have developed further. That’s not viable if you were wanting to distribute a bit of full-text search freeware with the archive of a large defunct technical forum. I took a look…ġ) There is Recoll on Windows, which looks like it’s halfway there, but it costs 5 Euros. So, an alternative freeware option will soon be needed. Whereas DocFetcher has no problem with that.

I’ve searched hard for how to force dtSearch to properly search “for a exact phrase” and nothing else, but to no avail. For example, walk-over finds walk about etc., no matter what the settings are of if quotes marks are used. And dtSearch appears to be unable to search exactly. Still, that’s good value compared to dtSearch, and is not a subscription like Copernic Desktop. “A proper bugfix for DocFetcher won’t be available until 2021, so for now downgrading to Java 8u251 is the only workaround”.īut by that time the software will be “DocFetcher Pro” and $50 paid for a perpetual licence. This is confirmed by a comment buried on SourceForge from the developer… It appears that the old 32-bit software just doesn’t play nicely with the latest mid-July Java.

Nor is the solution to download and install the latest 64-bit Java for Windows again. Nor is falling back to an earlier version of DocFetcher. The fallback is not the official portable version of DocFetcher, sadly, which has the same problem. Apparently it’s also causing problems for several other bits of software. And the comments at SourceForge suggest other are finding the latest Java (mid July 2020) repeatedly crashes DocFetcher. The code archive for this file suggests similar problems for others in the past.
The freeware desktop file-indexer and keyword searcher DocFetcher has been sporked by the Java runtime update, specifically failing to launch due to an error with the JIntellitype64.dll file. Update: DocFetcher Pro now available and stable at 31st May 2021, with embedded Java, for $40 via Gumroad.
