SpeedSearch Description

Fast and easy-to-use Mac app to search files for text SpeedSearch can search throughout a hierarchy of folders and files, searching for keywords for phrases located within any text document.As SpeedSearch uses WASTE to display search results and has such a rich set of features and user-friendly interface it has all the chances to become really popular in a very short period of time. Here are some key features of "SpeedSearch": · Mac OS X native. · Searches a folder hierarchy or one or more volumes. · Searches 'TEXT' files by default. Users can define sets of file types to search. · Uses the WASTE text engine to display search results. · Regular expression matching (like UNIX grep) is available, using the PCRE (Perl Compatible Regular Expression) library. · Supports "goto line" for the CodeWarrior, BBEdit and Alpha editors. · Macintosh, DOS and UNIX file formats are handled, transparent to the user. · Uses Appearance Manager controls. · Uses Navigation Services for file dialogs. · Uses offscreen drawing (user-configurable) for flicker-free updates. · Search results are limited in size only by the amount of memory given to SpeedSearch. · Search results are displayed as they are found. · Search results are displayed in color, which is user-configurable. · Search results are displayed in a font and size that is user-configurable. · Search results can be searched for a specified string. · Search results can be saved to and loaded from a file. · Search results text can be copied-straight from the results area--using the copy command or drag and drop. · Functions such as text scrolling and window resizing remain available during a search. · Files not containing matches of the search string can be displayed (useful for finding files not containing, for example, a company copyright notice). · Files and folders of matches can be opened by SpeedSearch. · Patterns can be specified to limit the search to only file names matching the patterns. · The start folder can be set using drag and drop. · Start folders can be added to a menu for easy access at a later time. · Multiple search windows can be opened. · Extensive Balloon Help is available for all windows.
