Blazing Fast Indexing

No complex Docker containers or Linux terminals. Install the native application, point it at a UNC share, and we handle the rest.

No Subscriptions

Stop paying thousands of dollars a year for cloud storage search. Pay once for a perpetual license and host it forever.

Built for Small Businesses and Beyond

Designed for SMBs, homelab enthusiasts, or anyone looking to instantly find files across their network without the enterprise price tag or complex IT infrastructure.

Quickly index your messy file servers, NAS drives, and local network shares. Find exactly what you need in milliseconds, so you can stop digging through nested folders and get back to real work.

File Search Interface

Native Active Directory Integration

Security is not an afterthought. FileCrawler connects directly to your corporate LDAP/LDAPS environment.

By defining an Admin Group, you guarantee that only authorized IT staff can access the dashboard to manage the crawling engine and configure shares. It seamlessly leverages your existing Windows Server infrastructure to provide a secure authentication gateway for the search engine.

Active Directory Security

Set-and-Forget Share Management

Just point FileCrawler at any local folder, mapped drive, or UNC path (e.g., \\corp-server\Marketing$).

Our intelligent background crawler automatically detects modifications and updates your index silently, without ever slowing down your network.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this upload my data to the cloud?

Absolutely not. FileCrawler is a 100% on-premise, native Windows application. It runs locally on your servers and never phones home with your file data, filenames, or search queries.

What kind of databases are supported?

For quick deployments, FileCrawler runs perfectly on an embedded SQLite engine right out of the box. For high-concurrency enterprise workloads, you can easily point it to a MySQL or PostgreSQL server.

What kind of files can it search?

FileCrawler indexes the full text of all major corporate file formats. This includes Microsoft Office documents (Word, Excel, PowerPoint), True PDFs, Text files, RTF, JSON, XML, HTML, Markdown, and many more common data formats.

How is it licensed? Are there subscriptions?

No subscriptions, no per-seat licenses, and no cloud fees. FileCrawler is a one-time perpetual license for under $200. Plus, join the waitlist today to secure an exclusive early access discount at launch.
