ntfs-cpu-search

Quickly search for files in NTFS volumes parsing the Master File Table (MFT). This implementation searches for substrings only.

Executable version

A precompiled version is provided under the release directory.

Background

This is the CPU-only release. An ntfs-amd-search also existed with contained both CPU and GPU implementations. That release won an honorable mention in the AMD OpenCL Competition back in 2011 (see amd\readme.pdf).

Vegnos Desktop Search

Vegnos supports glob and regular expression searches, as well as recovering files. This refined implementation is available here: http://www.vegnos.com/
