Innovative "Search-As-You-Type" Technology

Search as fast as you can type! Perform simple and complex searches all via a text entry box. Simply

start typing in the Search Text Box and DataLore will start searching right away. No need to press start

or stop or click on multiple drop down menus. DataLore will start searching with you, will stop with you,

and will change with you, responding immediately to your every move. This unique text entry method

for making quick searches, from simple to complex, works with you while you type, without any

interruption. When you want to change or adjust your search criteria, simply change the text and

DataLore will follow your lead, moving with you full steam ahead. DataLore works with you and

produces the results faster than you can say "Go DataLore!"

Powerful Text Shorthand & Special Characters

The simple search text box can perform powerful searches using a type of  "shorthand" that makes it

easy to do simple or complex searches, with special characters to define the search. Perform simple

searches with words separated by spaces or perform more complex searches using Boolean and Wildcard

queries, date ranges, file types, and much more. Combine special search characters to produce more

complex search patterns. The text shorthand options make custom or more complex search queries,

fast and easy!

Include and Exclude Folders

If you have a rough idea of where your file is, or where it definitely is not located, you can narrow down

the results so fast, by selecting folders to include and exclude from your search. You can also narrow

down your search by excluding specific file types from the search results. And it’s just that simple!

All-in-One Search Solution

DataLore offers you a main application along with a companion menu bar application that acts

as a mini-server for granting access to other Macs on your network. Use the main application to

perform all of your searches - choose where to search, what to search for, and what file types to look

for. View the results immediately. Select which folders to search and which ones to exclude, and narrow

down your search by excluding specific file types from the search results.

Use the handy menu bar app to control who can search your computer, what folders they can and

cannot search, or to grant certain computers no access at all. You can restrict access to specific folders

and even exclude folders from being accessed. You can turn remote access off instantly whenever you

want. This companion mini-server lives in your menu bar so that you can launch a new search anytime

without having to open the main application first.

DataLore’s network searching makes it so much more convenient and faster than using the Finder, or

using a thumb drive, or other alternative methods. No need to go back and forth between computers,

no need to log in to a computer, and no need to know someone else’s password. Just search and find -

it’s convenient, fast, and easy!
