(Released Thursday, September 30, 2004)

Bug Fixes

  • Crashes

X1 Version 3.0 (Build 630) (Released Monday, September 29, 2003)

New Features
  • New Contacts Tab
    • Added the Contacts tab, which indexes Outlook's address books and provides these functions for those contacts: Open, New, Forward, Print, Delete. There is a right-click menu and a button bar for these functions in the Contacts tab. The tab is available for X1 Pro users only.
  • Improved Attachments tab (for Outlook and Eudora™users only)
    • Attachments are content-indexed and displayed in the right View Pane.
    • Attachments can be launched by double-clicking in the left List Pane.
    • Added Eudora™attachment support.
  • Web
    • The Web tab now provides access to results from HotBot's four search engines: HotBot, Lycos, Google, and Ask Jeeves. Selection buttons for these search engines are above the List Pane.
    • In the Web tab you can now add more results to the initial list of 10 - if more results are available - by clicking the Add More Results button on the bottom Status Bar.
    • We generally block all IE pop-ups, except when the URL for the new window contains the "JavaScript" prefix. (In this case we assume the pop-up was intentionally activated by the user.)
    • Web pages now appear to load more quickly.
  • Email
    • Improved Eudora™email support
    • IMAP support
    • Microsoft Exchange public folder support
    • X1 prompts you to reconnect to Outlook Exchange after you close Outlook Exchange, rather than keeping the connection to Exchange alive.
    • Added "Profile/PST" column to Email tab.
    • Improved display of HTML email in View Pane of the Email tab.
    • Added "Reply", "Reply to All" and "Move to New Folder" buttons for Outlook email
  • Files
    • PowerPoint files are now content-indexed by default.
    • In Options > Files Search > Indexing Options > Specify Extensions, there is now a Revert to Default settings button.
    • Added a right-click option to email a file found in the Files tab.
    • Improved file-content indexing, including PDF Acrobat files. You'll have to re-index your files to take advantage of this feature. To do so, click the Options button and select "Re-Index All Files" in the Files Search tab.
    • Contents of files inside of compressed files, such as Zip files, are indexed if the compressed file's file extension is added to Options > Files Search > Indexing Options > Specify Extensions. Each file in a compressed file is listed as a separate item in the Files tab. When a user attempts to launch a file in a compressed file, the compressed file opens. Changes to file indexing options are picked up when X1 updates its indexes. A complete file re-index is no longer necessary.
    • A media player in the View Pane of the Files tab
    • Fast JPG viewer with auto-sizing
    • You can now open multiple files in the Files tab by selecting them in the List Pane and clicking the "Open" button in the View Pane.
  • Other
    • X1 now has a free trial of all of its features rather than a free forever basic product and a Pro product.
    • Search terms remain in place in all search fields when switching from tab to tab.
    • Added clearer indexing status information to the Status Bar, as well as extensive status information during a user's initial indexing period (via messages in the View Pane).
    • Made the Indexing Options button on bottom Status Bar resize to handle large fonts.
    • Added an installation wizard.
    • X1 can now tell when a user has no Internet connection, and doesn't does not prompt the user to connect to the Internet. However, Web searches by the user still activate this prompt.
    • Added warning message when an index approaches the 2GB size limit. The message encourages users to turn off indexing of a tab or reindex that tab.
    • The Index New Files and Index New Email buttons are now labeled Update File Index and Update Email Index since those buttons not only add new email and files but also update the existing indexes to catch deletions or modifications.
    • Added a "Subject" column to the Attachments tab. It lists the subject line of the email message associated with the attachment.
    • Automatic import of IE favorites and history into X1 Favorites and History tabs. The Favorites tab does not import Internet Explorer's default bookmarks. It only imports Internet Explorer bookmarks specified by the user.
    • "Open File", "Open Email" and "Print" buttons are now above the View Pane in the Attachments tab.
    • Ctrl-C copies selected text in the View Pane to the clipboard as tab-delimited text. Handy for pasting into a spreadsheet!
    • You can now right-click in the List Pane to print email messages, files and attachments.
Bug Fixes
  • Crashes
    • X1 could not be installed on Windows 98/ME systems without crashing.
    • "List Index Out of Bounds (5)" crash.
    • "Access violation at address 0015B848" crash. (If you saw this crash, you must reindex your email to take advantage of the fix.)
    • Dragging the tabs on Win 98/ME systems caused an immediate crash.
    • "Unspecified error" crash when clicking Refresh on History tab.
    • "Stream read error" crash when Outlook Express index merged.
    • "Cannot create file C:\Documents and Settings\PC-22\Application Data\Findwell\favorite-recovery.dat" crash.
    • "Forgot to call AddToIndex" crash during email indexing.
  • Web Tab Bugs
    • Inputting URL in Web tab Address field failed to load page.
    • The image of a Web page in the View Pane of the Web tab would carry over into the View Pane of all other tabs, such as Email and Files.
    • Focus was lost while typing in the Web tab search field if results from a previous search were still loading.
    • While arrowing through the Web tab results list, arrow keystrokes were sometimes ignored because focus in the List Pane was lost to the View Pane.
    • Google searches did not work if the "new window" preference in Google was enabled.
  • Email Tab Bugs
    • The Outlook scanner wouldn't detect deleted folders.
    • Constant requests to reconnect to Microsoft Exchange after the user canceled the first request to connect.
    • X1 would run slowly and hog resources if it lost its connection to Microsoft Exchange.
    • For Microsoft Outlook Exchange profiles that were not the default profile, X1 did not preserve the session, so the user would be prompted to connect to Outlook Exchange for each incremental email scan. Now the Outlook Exchange connection is preserved throughout each X1 session.
    • Moving large numbers of email messages from folder to folder would quickly cause X1's email index to reach the 2GB size limit.
  • Docking/Autohide Bugs
    • When in autohide mode, X1 would sometimes steal focus from other applications.
    • Changing from undocked to docked mode disabled column search fields and the divider bar.
    • In docked mode, when the user had another program docked as well, X1 would "shake" the whole desktop and generally behave badly.
  • Other Bugs
    • Typing a search term very quickly could cause no results to appear even though the search term matched results if typed more slowly.
    • The Attachments tab reappeared once turned off in the Set Visible Tabs option.
    • Double clicking on folders in the Files tab would give a message saying the folder had been deleted and would be removed from the X1 index. Now double clicking on folders in the Files tab opens the folder.

  • The X1 executable is now x1.exe instead of find.exe.
  • "Unspecified error" crashes in the Web tab. (Possible fix.)
  • X1 responded slowly to the first few letters of any search term entered in the Files, Email, or Attachments tab. To take advantage of this fix, re-index your email and files.

  • If Windows was shut down before X1 was closed, X1 often lost any file indexing completed during that session.
  • "Access violation at address 0049383B" crashes.
  • "Access violation at address 00401D30" crashes. (Possible fix.)

back to top

Bug Fixes
  • In the Web tab, pop-up windows required by Web pages, forms and links did not work.
  • Installation of X1 directly after an uninstall failed.
  • After a crash, the Favorites tab failed to recover its list of saved pages, and then X1 crashed the next time a favorite was added.

  • Outlook error messages sometimes appeared when reindexing or selecting folders. Now these errors are recorded in the emailscan.log file and do not appear as messages.

New Features

Version 206c (Released Thursday, January 23, 2003)

New Features
  • Incremental indexing of files is off by default. It can be turned on in the Options dialog box. This makes Find faster for users who found incremental indexing caused their computers to be too slow.
  • File indexing is limited to file types (based on extension) that generally have text to index. You can add file extensions using the File Search tab in Options. Once you add a file extension to this list, you'll have to rescan all of your files to see the content of files with that extension in your results.
  • Incremental indexing of email has been added for Netscape, Eudora, and Outlook Express. It is on by default, but you can turn it off in the Options dialog box.
  • Putting the minus (-) symbol in front of a search term performs a negative search on that word, meaning it excludes any results containing that word.
  • Any punctuation after a word except an apostrophe (') forces an exact word search if followed by a space. So, if you search for "art. ", you will only get matches for "art". If you search for "art" you will get results containing "art", "artist", "arthur" and so forth.
  • The plus and minus keys (+/-) move up and down the left List Pane and they move to the next or previous search term in the right View Pane.
  • In Files mode, the right-click option labeled "Locate on Disk" opens the directory (using Windows Explorer) containing the selected file.
  • In Autohide mode, Find waits a fraction of a second in response to the presence of the mouse at the top of the screen. This helps prevent Find from appearing unintentionally.
  • In Files mode, Ctrl-F in the right View Pane pops up the standard Windows Find dialog box. F3 is the standard "Next" key.
  • In Files mode, Ctrl-A does a "select all" in the right View Pane.
  • In Web mode, Ctrl-N pops up your default browser in a separate window, with the page displayed in Find's right View Pane loaded.
  • Added a link to a Help file in the bottom right corner of the interface.
  • In the left List Pane, added a bold line that shows where a column will be dropped when it is being dragged to a new location.
  • The Options dialog can be accessed by using "Ctrl-O" instead of F6.
  • Hitting Enter when a file or Outlook email message is selected launches the file or Outlook email message.
  • The folder column in Email mode shows the full folder path. The paths are right-aligned so that you can size the column to just show the column name, not the full folder hierarchy.
  • Added several items to the usage tracking logs, including number of email messages and files indexed, length of indexing time, and email clients indexed.
  • The right View Pane auto-scrolls results to show the first match.
  • The To, From, CC and BCC columns include email addresses when avahilable, in this format: Name [Email address].
  • Only one click is necessary to bring up Find from the System Tray icon, instead of two.
  • .exe files are shown by default, though you can exclude them under the File Search tab of Options.
  • Shortcut files are excluded by default, though you can include them under the File Search tab of Options.
  • We've added a focus indicator (blue highlight) that shows you where focus is in the Find UI.
  • Sped up and fixed minor bugs in Netscape® and Eudora™email scanning.
  • Both panes indicate that a search is under way.
  • Added a button on the status bar that appears when an incremental scan has been happening for 20 seconds or more. It leads to indexing options.
  • In Web mode, the back and forward buttons are always visible, instead of disappearing when they are not available.
  • Made it more obvious which mode tab (Email, Files, or Web) is active.
  • Tab order for navigating through Find is: Search Field-->Go-->Clear-->Tabs-->Column Header Search Fields-->left
    List Pane-->right View Pane.
  • Right clicking on the Find icon in the System Tray brings up an "Options" option in the right-click menu.
