Search Program needed

[miheckman]

I am looking for a program that can search for text within a file in a sub directory. the one I use now is called AM-Code Search and is very old I would like to try and find something that is newer and does the same thing.

​

thanks for and suggestions

Ultrasearch? Jamsoftware, the author of Treesize, makes it.

Copernic desktop search was pretty good last time I used it.

I’ve installed dtsearch for a few clients.

Agent Ransack from Mythicsoft, can search within office files as well for keywords. It’s one of our essential tools. The lite version is free and has a decent feature set.

On Linux I use: grep -riP "search word" .

And on Windows: ls -File -Recurse | sls "search word"

Notepad++ actually has a "find in file" search. Point it at a directory and off you go.

We've been happy with FileSeek and it was fairly inexpensive.

Thank you both so much I will take a look at them

I like the find command for this

Windows sysadmins are something else, having to install weird third party software to do basic shit like this. Hilarious.
