You can also choose specific keywords to add to your search.

Depending on your choice, the scanning can take seconds or minutes, especially if you're scanning through more than one hard drive.

Wise Duplicate Finder is one such tool that bends over backwards to be careful while giving you the opportunity to locate redundant files to clear up much-needed file space.
