About DigIt

What is DigIt

Dig out files/documents and make hyperlinked indexes for contents of folders

DigIt has been developed to ease up the process of accessing specific files that are lying deep within folders or are placed among hundreds or may be thousands of similar files. What makes it different from built-in search engine of Windows is that rather than actually searching through all the files each time you pass a search query, it searches through an index in the for of an excel document that has been generated using DigIt. The result is it sometimes it takes less time  to open the document/ file of interest. Moreover, if you usually have to share a package of files the generated excel sheet can serve as an index containing relative hyperlinks of documents/files.
