Whoever recommended Agent Ransack for file searching, thanks

[John Doe]

I know it was recommended, but I can't find the thread. As I recall,
it was in the Windows 7 group, but I would use it in 8 as well.

It's working great so far. Love being able to find stuff.

The only momentary annoyance was being reminded that it's not for
business use, but that's nothing.

Yup, it is one great program for sure. ;-)

FileLocator Lite 2014 is also a great program.

I'm using it since many years and I'm happy with it.

And FileLocator Lite is a rebranding of Agent Ransack
for corporate environments. It has exactly the same
functionality but with a different name and logo.

....but what about a freeware to search the _content_ of files?

Agent Ransack *does* search for file content.

Agent Ransack *does* search for file content.

So does Windows 7 built in search, just hit the Start button and type. Theonly thing Agent Ransack seems to do (from the screenshots) is do Boolean searches using AND, OR as well, i.e., "STUPID and JOHN and DOE". Not sure if it can do 'proximity searches' like "stupid w/5 "John Doe"", which will give you the word "stupid" found within five words of "John Doe". I use dtSearch (paid version) for such proximity searches.
