Can NTFS-Search(An OSS project) scan any file on NTFS volume?

Question

I want to apply NTFS-Search to our project.
Our project have to find the files which we specified.(fast and exactly!)

But I'm not sure the program(NTFS-Search) works well.
What if the specified file is system file?
What if the file is being opened by a process with NO_READ_SHARE_MODE?

Do you think NTFS-Search can find any files?
I don't know about NTFS filesystem well.
So I can't find the answer myself.

Is there anyone who knows that?

I tried to find their email address, but I couldn't find.

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

According to the description of that project it just scans the MFT for a specified file name. This means that neither the file attributes nor its share flags for open files should make any difference.

You can contact the developer on their user page at sf.net, by the way.
