Editor's Opinion
Windows Grep provides you with an easy yet powerful way to search for any type of file stored on your computer by using the highly reliable "grep" command. This versatile and efficient piece of software can easily become the favorite search tool for any Windows-based computer user.
Editor's Description
When searching for specific files under the Windows operating system, usually, many of us use the built-in Search utility. Although this tool provides us with accurate results, for a more accurate and thoroughly search, we can now use the flexible and efficient Windows Grep.

Windows Grep is a handy and easy to use piece of software that, as its name states, allows you to use the powerful and very accurate "grep" search command that is available on DOS and Unix platforms under the much friendlier Windows operating system. This way, by using this lightweight application, you can quickly search for your text in any type of file stored on your computer.

Besides searching the plain-ASCII text files (source codes, batch files, text documents, etc.) Windows Grep can even search binary files so that you will be provided with every single file that contains your desired keyword.

In order to help you out when searching for a specific item, Windows Grep comes with a search wizard that will guide you through all the steps in order to find your specific content. This handy application puts at your disposal three search modes: Normal (regular expressions), Soundex ('sounds like' - great if you want to perform a search for similar texts as the one you input) and Quick (no regular expressions) mode.

In addition to searching files, Windows Grep allows you to replace keyword with any other desired text in all of the files found in your latest search (won't work with binary files) and you can also make use of a very helpful assistant (wizard) in order to ease the process.

To sum it all up, Windows Grep is a powerful search tool that allows you to perform accurate searches for any desired content by using the flexible "grep" command.
