Search and discovery
Folders and filenames are rarely enough once data has accumulated over time. Blitz Indexer lets you search and explore your files based on what they are and what they contain, using fast, flexible tools that scale from simple lookups to very precise queries.
Search filenames, metadata, and full-text document content
Blitz Indexer allows you to search across multiple kinds of information at once:
- Filenames and file types
- Dates, sizes, and other file attributes
- Embedded metadata fields, such as author, camera details, or location
- Full-text content inside documents, including PDFs, Office files, HTML, and plain text
You don’t need to remember exactly where a file was stored — just something about it.
From quick searches to precise control
You can start with a simple search and refine it only if needed.
- Enter plain text to search broadly across filenames, metadata, and document content
- Narrow results using specific fields such as name, metadata, or contents
- Combine conditions to describe exactly what you are looking for
Advanced users can precisely control which fields are searched and how terms are matched, without switching modes or configuring separate search tools.
Explore your data, not just search it
Search is only one way to find files. Blitz Indexer also supports exploration and navigation across your data.
You can:
- Browse folders and volumes as usual
- Highlight identical copies of a file stored in different locations
- Browse trees of distinct metadata values to see what exists in your data
- Reveal files hidden away in system folders or long-forgotten directories
Think of all the metadata fields as being “orthogonal” to each other and to the file path, so you can go off in different directions to help you discover long lost files.
Find relationships within your files
Blitz Indexer helps surface relationships that are hard to see using folders alone.
- Group identical files automatically
- Navigate between files that share metadata values
- Move naturally between related documents, media, and other files
These relationships make large, uncurated data sets easier to understand and navigate.
Fast, predictable results
Blitz Indexer’s search behaviour is explicit and predictable.
Searches operate on visible filenames, stored metadata, and indexed document text, giving you clear control over what is searched and how results are produced — without opaque ranking or guesswork.
