This index-based, local-keyword search engine indexes text and HTML files stored in specific directories and runs directly from your PC or a CD-ROM. AFSearch enables users to perform fast, powerful, Boolean-supported keyword searches any time to easily locate needed documents, with keywords highlighted. It comes with a built-in browser and support for multiple languages, and can index file types including RTF, DOC, and PDF. You may set conditions to easily exclude files and folders from indexing. The program supports multiple index files so you can easily toggle among sets of indexed files.

Version 8.7 includes a form wizard for easier index management and CD-ROM publishing.
