FindInFiles

I couldn't find any simple tool for searching files containing given text..
(Notepad++ crashed with blue screen, VisualStudio is too much, Atom is too slow to start, Windows content: search is super slow, Googling didn't return any simple free tools..etc), so had to make one :/

Still work-in-progress (but usable already)


Alternatives

Current Features

  • Search text in files from given folder (and subfolders)
  • Can be launched from Commandline or Explorer context menu (to automatically pass target folder)
  • Double click results to open file in default editor
  • Save search history (to search again easily)
  • Resizeable window

Planned Features

  • Jump to line (if you are using notepad++ or others that support linenumber parameter)
  • Sort results by modified file date
  • Settings to allow modifying searched file extensions
  • More? You can comment using issues here^
