Developer’s Description

By Kims Software
Search the desktop with a specialized search tool for software developers and IT professionals.
Instant Text Finder is a specialized desktop search tool for software developers and IT professionals Working on a solution that has thousands of files involving multiple projects, databases, scripts and web pages can be a daunting task. Searching for a text in many files can take a lot of time. Instant Text Finder helps you by finding what youLightning-fast search: Instant Text Finder is an index-based search tool. After your files are indexed, subsequent searches take only a few seconds because Instant Text Finder already knows where the results are. This ability to find text quickly frees users from having to narrow the scope of their searches, by either file type or file location.Minimal indexing: Unlike other desktop search tools, Instant Text Finder does not perform any indexing in the background. This means that you will not see a sudden performance drop on your computer while you are working on an important task. Indexing is done only when the user initiates it. Instant Text Finder can detect changes in file contents and will offer users the option of updating its index.Syntax Highlighter: Source code is much more readable with the syntax highlighter Instant Text Finder provides syntax highlighters for C#, C++, Javascript, XML, VB.NET, PHP, HTML and ASP.Overview Bar: Users frequently want to find all occurrences of a word or string within a file or to compare the position of one string relative to another. Instant Text Finder provides a vertical Overview Bar that represents the entire file. It marks the search string's positions with a yellow line in the Overview Bar.Find as you type: In addition to the Overview Bar, this feature allows users to see all occurrences of a specific string within a search result. Just type what you are looking for in the file view window and Instant Text Finder will highlight all occurrences of that string in real time.
