Windows Grep is a tool for searching files for text strings that you specify. Although Windows and many other programs have file searching capabilities built-in, none can match the power and versatility of Windows Grep.
A fully-functioning evaluation version is available for download. There are no differences between this and the registered version. It does not time-expire.

Very nice, k8. Large hard drives are giving me migraines... too many files, too many dusty corners in which to hide things. I distrust Google, so won't download their toolbar or search tool. This might just be the answer.
Different to grep - but handy for locating folders and files - try locate32

Maybe senile ?? JK
Locate32 is a great program, but I've never "Gripped"
Not to be confused with griped, I've done that a time or two in my life.... :-)
No - it's "grep" - derived from the ancient text editor 'ed' command g/re/p (need I point out its' 'nix heritage).
Extending it's super-powers included agrep (approximate or "close enough" grep) egrep and fgrep (the older but still supported for nostalgic compatibility) variations. There is even a pgrep in there for processes.
If you are going to be grepping this Christmas - don't drink and type. ;)

Nope, none of that here! Couldn't if I wanted to, my keyboard has one of those built-in Breathalyzers that makes me give it a sample before each and every session. But at least I don't get citations for TUI anymore..
