In order to quickly find files and folders on your hard drive, UltraSearch directly accesses the Master File Table of local NTFS partitions. Administrator rights are needed for this. As a consequence the User Account Control (UAC) is displayed. You can skip this dialog by disabling Skip User Account Control Warning via Options > Application.
If you want to search for file content, use the prefix cont: or content: , for example:
cont:license
to search all files with the word "license" in its content.
If you prefer to use separate input fields for entering file contents as in earlier UltraSearch versions, you can also use the Query Composer on the 'Start' or 'Search' tab.
The full text search is time-consuming. It is therefore recommended to use additional search criteria like file name or file extension.
You can start UltraSearch directly with the operating system via 'Options > Application > Launch at Windows startup'. UltraSearch is then always available from the notification area on the right side of the taskbar.
The key combination "2x Ctrl" can bring UltraSearch to the foreground at lightning speed and you can start your search without delay. You can change the key combination for launching UltraSearch at any time under 'Options > Application > Select hotkey'.
Yes. The dark mode can be activated via 'Options> Application> Appearance'.
This is a known issue with Windows' preinstalled PDF file handler in combination with certain PDF files.
In order to be able to read the content of certain files, our software uses file handlers that are registered in Windows. Unfortunately, there seems to be an issue with Microsoft's PDF file handler, which causes this behavior in rare cases.
The same technology is also used by Windows' File Explorer (you could reproduce this issue in File Explorer as well). What you can do as a workaround is to install a different, third party file handler for PDF files, such as the one from Adobe.
DataCentral has access control implemented.
Although, there might be files indexed that are not accessible by some users, DataCentral automatically only delivers search results the specific UltraSearch user has access to.
Usually, you need 1 license to run SpaceObServer and DataCentral on a server + n licenses of UltraSearch Professional for n people that can search the DataCentral indexes.
The amount of data in the indexes and the number of searches is unlimited.
