Everything is awesome for file name searching.
How do people search inside files on Windows?
I use ripgrep on the CLI, as Windows Explorer's in-built search has a cumbersome syntax.
Sometimes though, a GUI is easier.
- Strom 6y agoEverything can search inside files too.
- adolfojp 6y agoIt can search files but it doesn't index their content, making the searches very slow.

- vezycash 6y agoTry FileSeek for in-files search. Just point it at a folder and type your query. Supports wildcards and regex
- SamuelAdams 6y agoI use a tool called Agent Ransack for searching for text within files. Works great for git repos / source code. https://www.mythicsoft.com/agentransack/ https://www.mythicsoft.com/agentransack/
