Anyone remember an old HD google indexer?

[bull2118]

This mustve been back in 2007-2010ish. I think it was google, but you would install it, and you could see every file on your HD, deleted or not.

I have some old papers from college I want to try and find. This was the simplest thing ever, just install and browse through your past.....word docs, jpegs, it was all there.

I cannot find a solution that is like that, any suggestions (this was free BTW)

Google Desktop.

Windows basically has file indexing built-in now.

Everything Search will list every file in your system & let you search by exact file name: (* wildcards work too, like *.pdf)

UltraFileSearch does an amazing job of searching, although it's not realtime-indexed like Google Desktop was:

From a google search, it looks like Lookeen is the spiritual successor of Google Desktop:
