Programmers / Web developers will find this software very useful. A lot of times we need to find for a certain string or text within our huge project and the clumsy Windows Search just won't do the trick.
1) Download and run the software (No installation).
2) Simple select a parent folder, enter the extensions (usually I click on the Import File Types as shown), enter your key string and start searching!
3) Results will be shown instantly after it does all the searching (sometimes it could be slow if your folder contains a lot of files, in this case you might wanna narrow down the file type for it to skip unwanted files)
4) Double click on any item to open its internal viewer. You may select an external viewer to open your file in the options page. However, I found that the internal viewer is quite useful as it automatically enters your search term so you don't need to do Ctrl + F manually to look for the text in that file :)
End Note:
For users looking for a tool to search for text within Microsoft Word, Excel, PDF files and the like (which this software doesn't support), you might want to have a look here instead.
