What it is
WizFile is a Windows utility for finding files by name, path, size, and date. Results appear almost instantly and update in real time as file changes are detected. On NTFS drives, it builds its file database by reading the Master File Table directly; it also supports non-NTFS hard drives, network drives, USB drives, and individual directories. Search options include whole-path matching, multiple terms, customizable filters, and regular expressions. File data is kept in RAM rather than an external database file, and the program is described as portable. When Seer or QuickLook is running, users can press Space on a selected file to preview it. The free version is for personal use and does not include support; commercial use requires a license, with business licensing tied to staff size and physical site. The Individual supporter code costs $$20 once and includes a perpetual license and upgrades for versions released within one year. The maker was founded in 2007 and is based in Papamoa Beach, Tauranga, New Zealand.
