Introduction
What is Data Detective?

Data Detective is a software productivity package that helps you track and manage document files on your personal computer. With Data Detective you can search through files in any directory or drive for specific words or phrases.

Data Detective is similar to the search engines found on the World Wide Web: if you've already used those services then you already know almost everything you need to know about using Data Detective.

The difference between Data Detective and web search services is that they index the content of the World Wide Web; Data Detective indexes the contents of your personal computer.
