Not just a Vista thing
caldernetDecember 22, 2008
Pros
Finds some files. Completes quickly.
Cons
Does not find most files
Summary
Program does not reliably work in Windows XP either. Finds a couple of files containing a text string entered, but like somebody else, does not do a mediocre job.
Doesn't work (in Vista?)

Pros
Cons
searched *.php files for "if", "foreach", "include" and it returned ZERO results. I'm looking at the files and I can see they contain these terms. Is this just a Vista thing?
Summary
Excellent program, easy to use.
