With HPS Search you can easily find text words and phrases in multiple files and subdirectories. HPS Search is ready to use with no complicated setup - select the starting directory, enter the text to search for, and hit Start. You will immediately begin seeing a list of files displayed, as matches are found. Click on one of the matches, and you will see the line containing the match, plus some surrounding lines in the context window.


Safe for Forensics

HPS Search does not permit changing text or modifying files, so it is guaranteed safe for use in computer forensics situations. HPS Search is very effective in security, law enforcement, and other legal investigations such as cases involving intellectual property. HPS Search is able to drill down through multiple sub-folders and find the evidence you need. With three type of pattern matches and immediate recall of search terms, you can quickly fine-tune and repeat searches across multiple folders and drives, and then use the Save Results option to save the data you find.

Results are Digitally Signed

Because HPS Search does not allow any changes to the files it searches, you are guaranteed that the data you find will stand up in court. Furthermore, HPS Search inserts a digital signature called a message digest each time you save your search results to a file. This ensures that the authenticity of the search results can be verified at any time. HPS Search has a built-in function to check the results file, and any change in the results text will cause the message digest to fail to authenticate. The message digest is computed according to the US Secure Hash Algorithm SHA-1, which is a cryptographically secure one-way algorithm designed by the National Institute of Standards (NIST) and the National Security Agency (NSA).


Four Search Types

HPS Search offers four kinds of searches, including regular expressions. The search text is saved to allow immediate repeat searches with different settings or a different folder.

Drive Bar

The HPS Search Drive Bar allows instant access to all drives, and the exclusive Speed Folders™ found only in HPS Search give you direct access to frequently used folders. You can define up to five Speed Folders – click on a Speed Folder button, and the folder tree will be opened at that folder.


File Filters

HPS Search File Filters allow you to specify date and size ranges for the files to be searched. You can also enter extensions for files that you want to exclude from the search.


Integrated With Your Editor

You can select your editor from one of the predefined editors, or customize HPS Search to use your editor. With the command-line options of your editor set up, double-clicking on a file that is open in the context window will open the file in your editor, at the same line.
