fURI - Find Uniform Resource Identifier(s) - is designed to make it quick and easy to find files and information stored on your own computer, and out on different sources on the Internet.

Given a few simple instructions, fURI can automatically gather together a complete list of all of the music, movie, picture, program or other files it finds on web pages or FTP servers.

fURI can also search text documents and web pages for useful information when supplied with a group of key words to look for - either on the Internet, or your personal computer.
