Nope, that's the real name, since a decade or more ago!
Ransack as in "we're ransacking the place", Agent as in "spy, secret agent"
There's a professional version with a more sensible name (FileLocator Pro) but I haven't had a need for the pro features yet: https://www.mythicsoft.com/agentransack/features

There's also FileLocator Lite, which is Ransack rebranded, and free. Highly recommended. -JW

Doesn't search inside files, but UltraSearch indexes the MFT of NTFS drives and returns near-instant results among zillions of files. Can do regex and select which volumes you want to index and other stuff. Pretty neat, and free from the makers of TreeSize.

Exactly - literally the same thing as Agent Ransack but with a different name. So, that's three votes for Agent Ransack
