Cool Find for Windows

  Pros

  Loads of features, was an invaluable tool. It can grep even East Asian MS Office files (who store their DBCS characters in a way that standard greppers simply can't copy with).

  Cons

  Unsurprisingly (as it hasn't been updated since 2004), it can't search the compressed XML formats of Office 2007 or later, i.e. .docx or similar. That alone makes it just about worthless to me.

  Summary

  Try Agent Ransack instead - loads of features, and includes support for .docx and the like.

  Crashes with large files, has annoying bugs and displays filesizes incorrectly. Can search in archives though.
