Effective Format Search Parameters Format is most often found on 1 operating systems.

How to open EFSP file?
The most common problem when using Effective Format Search Parameters Format is that a specific EFSP is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open EFSP, 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 EFSP 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 Effective File Search
In this case, you should first verify that the Effective File Search application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Effective File Search in it. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open EFSP files.
Programs to open EFSP file
Remember to download programs supporting EFSP files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Effective File Search with EFSP files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the EFSP file to open in the Effective File Search application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. 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 Effective File Search application as the default for handling the EFSP file.
Step 3. Update Effective File Search to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Effective File Search program, it is possible that Effective Format Search Parameters Format requires a newer version of the program. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Sowsoft page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the EFSP file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
The EFSP file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the EFSP file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our EFSP file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover EFSP files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the EFSP files changes over time. 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair EFSP file corruption. 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 EFSP 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the EFSP file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the EFSP file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file EFSP to close. However, some background programs may block the EFSP file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
