[QUOTE="jv16, post: 1049560, member: 98343"] Thank you for pointing that out! I have now updated the comparison to reflect this. There is also a hamburger menu on the top left corner of the app. Is there anything else I could do to make those options more visible? Did you run WinFindr with the Right Click > Run As Administrator option, by any chance? If you didn't, it doesn't have access to all files on the system and that could explain why it didn't find as many files as the other app. The UI of WinFindr should contain a tip mentioning this. Another thing that could cause a different number of results is that by default, WinFindr skips certain directories from the search, such as the recycle bin. These skipped directories are listed in the search UI (the first tab). Did you notice this? I could compile a 64 bit version but are there any benefits for running this as 64 bits, though? [/QUOTE]
