**Listary 7.1.0.43 Beta** is out. It brings three main improvements and fixes a number of issues you reported here.

* * *

## New: see how fast search is on your PC

Open Options \> About to see how long a search takes on your computer, how many files Listary can find, and how many times a day you open it. You can also run a **speed test** that times five common searches.

 ![Listary speed test](https://discussion.listary.com/uploads/default/original/2X/9/9c2c2cea8bb15834f7655e040c3b69ef459ab23c.png)

**Post a screenshot of your speed test result in this thread.** We’d love to see how fast it is on your PC.

## About 50 MB less memory

Memory use is now **34%** lower than in 7.0.

## Korean initial-consonant search

Type only the initial consonant of each syllable. For example, `ㄱㅅ` finds `감사.txt`.

## Other improvements

- Multiple File Search Windows can be open at the same time again, as in earlier versions.
- “Do not index” is renamed to “Exclude from search results”. These files are still indexed, but don’t show up in results.
- The Twitter web search is renamed to X, and its keyword is now `x`.
- Several fixes for Quick Switch and the search bar in file dialogs.

- “Do not index” now says what it does. Thanks @songch ([t/10264](https://discussion.listary.com/t/10264))
