How to open DTSEARCH file?

An often recurring problem with DtSearch Configuration Format is that DTSEARCH is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open DTSEARCH, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the DTSEARCH file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.

Step 1. Install dtSearch

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that dtSearch is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name dtSearch into the system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open DTSEARCH files.

Programs to open DTSEARCH file

Remember to download programs supporting DTSEARCH files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of dtSearch with DTSEARCH files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the DTSEARCH file still does not use the dtSearch program, it means no association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the dtSearch application as the default for handling the DTSEARCH file.

Step 3. Update dtSearch to the latest version

If, despite the association of the dtSearch program with the DtSearch Configuration Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the dtSearch Corp. website and install the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the DTSEARCH file

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:

The DTSEARCH file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the DTSEARCH file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file DTSEARCH or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected DTSEARCH files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of DTSEARCH file may not always be supported by the latest software version. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged DTSEARCH files. You can restore the file from a backup or use help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted DTSEARCH files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move DTSEARCH to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file DTSEARCH to close. However, some background programs may block the DTSEARCH file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
