If you are looking for a particular file which you may have deleted accidentally, you can use a search function. You can search for specific files by using case or word matching, or by applying advanced filters like file extension, date and file size. You can export the scan results to file for closer examination.

Before running full scans on partitions, media devices or CDs/DVDs, you can define the file types you are looking for recovery. This way you can narrow down your search, reduce scan time. You have the option to include or exclude documents, archives, graphics and pictures, audio and video, emails, databases, and other files types.
