How dtSearch Works

  dtSearch can instantly search gigabytes of text because it builds a search index that stores the location of words in documents.
  Indexing is easy — simply select folders or entire drives to index and dtSearch does the rest.
 
Once dtSearch has built an index, it can automatically update it using the Windows Task Scheduler to reflect additions, deletions and modifications to your document collection.
Updating an index is even faster, since dtSearch will check each file, and only reindex files that have been added or changed.
The dtSearch indexer automatically recognizes and supports all popular file formats, and never alters original files.
  A single index can hold multiple gigabytes of text, and dtSearch can create — and search with a single search request — an unlimited number of indexes.
  Since you may sometimes want to search files that dtSearch has not indexed, dtSearch also does unindexed as well as "combination" searching.
Searching and document display (like indexing) do not in any way affect original files.
When dtSearch does an indexed search, it searches directly on the index that it has built.
An unindexed search, in contrast, searches directly through the documents.
In either case, when dtSearch displays a retrieved document, it refers to the original document, using information in the index to highlight hits.

Browser-Optimized Display
