In Windows Explorer, there's a search box that searches the files. But it's slow, and its searches recurse into subfolders. I'd like something that filters the files quickly, without recursing into subdirectories.

At a minimum, it should work in Windows Explorer. If it also works in Open File dialog boxes in other applications, even better.

I don't want to pay for this; I'm looking for freeware.

  • Did you know that, in Windows Explorer, you can often select the file you want by typing the first few letters of its filename?

  • If you are not married to Windows Explorer, then (IMO superior) tools like Total Commander do what you want (and a whole lot more that WE does not), so quickly as to seem instantaneous ghisler.com
