What is Mo-Search?

Mo-Search is a desktop search tool for Windows 10 and 11 that performs full-text searches by indexing selected drives, folders, and network drives. Unlike filename-only search tools, it searches within files and provides ranked results based on relevance. It supports various file formats, includes advanced filters, and has an integrated viewer for viewing matches. It also has file tools like duplicate finding, folder sizing, favorites, and search history, and a background indexer.

Mo-Search prioritizes user privacy, storing the index on your PC and not requiring a cloud service or account creation. It includes MoContext, a local MCP server that allows AI assistants to search and cite files on your PC using the local index. The feature is inactive until user activation. Continuously developed since 2005, Mo-Search offers a 40-day free trial, and a yearly license costs $50.
