Reset Windows Password: Windows Search database explorer


Windows Search is a content index desktop search platform developed by Microsoft. Windows Search creates an index of files, documents, emails, folders, programs, notes, photos, internet history, as well as file contents. The purpose is to let users perform fast incremental search based on contents and details such as authors, dates, people, file names, file types, and sizes.

The Windows Search database provides a valuable source of information for a forensic investigator. The indexed data reside in a single Extensible Storage Engine file in the following directory:
%SYSTEMDRIVE%\ProgramData\Microsoft\Search\Data\Applications\Windows\Windows.edb

The Windows 11 Search stores the data in the SQLite database named Windows.db but has a similar data structure.

The Windows Search explorer is a tool to parse the database and display collected information in a human-readable format.

 

Selecting database location

Windows Search database location

First, you need to provide the path to the database. You can do it either selecting a disk (the program displays only those ones where it managed to fetch the database) or setting up a full path to the database manually.

 

Windows Search database explorer

Windows Search database explorer

The program builds a list of all found items and displays it in the left pane under the directory tree. So the directory tree is a parent to disk, email, internet history, user activity and other folders. Once a folder is selected under the directory tree pane, the program fills in the middle file list pane and displays items that belong to the selected folder there. To view all available properties (right pane), just select the item you need.

Experienced users can take advantage of an additional option for creating wordlists containing all indexed words from the search database. These dictionaries can be used later for further analysis or in any password recovery software.
