I’m pleased to announce that the beta version for the next major release of FileLocator Pro and Agent Ransack is now available to download. This version has been a long time in the making and includes some really nice improvements, and will be a free upgrade for any recent purchases.
Highlights:

Dear all,
I really like your product.
But there is one litte feature I am missing:
I can choose to include subfolders – or not.
But I cannot select how many levels of subfolders I want to search.
Often I only want to search in the 2 or 3 topmost levels.
It would be nice if you could implement this feature somewhen.
Regards
Rainer Kollerer.
Thanks for the comment. You can already kind of do this:

I’ll add your request to make this a bit easier!
When do you think version 9 will be released from Beta?
Thanks for the comment. The product was finally released 11 Dec.
