Fast text search is really valuable -- if we could see comparisons it would help make judgements about which to use.
- Export results to file/clipboard/pipe
- Bookmarks: saved search presets
- Full search history (entries of source/filter/pattern)
- Built-in preview window
- Editor commands to jump to found matches (ex: gvim '$filepath' +$line)
- Drag/Drop found matches to an open text editor
- File dialog to select start directory
- Tab cycling of source filenames (console emulation)
- Logical operators coming soon (AND OR NOT XOR)
I suggest trying the free demo to get a better feel for the application.
Comparing with others: ripgrep (MIT) mention filtering and shell completions, ugrep (MIT) - including a file indexer, searching in archives and fuzzy search, dnGrep (GPL3) - archives, s&r+undo, (as well) to line results in external editor and XPath.
Unfortunately can't test it. Virustotal says it's not network shy (IP Traffic) and unsafe (3/75 security vendors flagged this file as malicious) :(
BTW I'm using Everything Search with a column (!) showing content of a file with higlighted search terms - but there is no jump to line in preview option (as well new version changes accestimes).
How are you checking the access time? File Explorer's "Properties" window changes the access time in Windows 10, that tripped me up during development.
$10 is nothing and I already forgot how much did the restaurant dinner last night cost me, but I don't want to give money without knowing what am I getting in little more details and/or user-friendly marketing like tool comparison.
