Better Search Defaults

Does it feel like that cute little dog in the corner of your Windows XP search box is mocking you with his inability to quickly retrieve the information you’re looking for?


With Software Candy’s Better Search Defaults you can cut out all the extra clicks and find the files and folders you need faster with just an easy download.

Simply download and install Better Search Defaults and you can skip all the unnecessary steps involved in Windows’ default search options and go right to the search window. The time and annoyance you'll save by using this easy to use and well tested product is well worth the tiny price!

What are the Default Search Options and what does Better Search Defaults do?

 The redundant “out of the box” default search options originally installed on your computer by the manufacturer typically looks like the image on the left. Instead of just starting the search it begins the process with the question “what do you want to search for?” You then are guided through a series of checkboxes and options to narrow down the search parameters.

After installing Better Search Defaults your searches will look like the image on the right:

With Better Search Options you can make your searches more fast, focused, and to the point by cutting out all the extra buttons and animation. The convenience of being able to go straight to the results you need will save you lots of time and aggravation. Better Search Defaults makes your searches more productive by instantly switching your options to:

• Skip directly to the advanced files & folders search
• Hide the dog (cute puppy but after a while it just gets in the way)
• Search system folders: ON
• Search hidden files and folders: ON
• Search subfolders: ON
• Case sensitive: OFF
• Search tape backup: OFF

As with all Software Candy products, Better Search Defaults is completely free of any viruses or spyware (digitally signed for authenticity and integrity) and is well tested for its advertised features. If ever needed, you can also uninstall it completely with a single click, performing a total cleanup after itself.

Put the pup back on a leash and tighten your search results with Software Candy’s Better Search Defaults.
