Looking for addresses, emails or other such information in files can prove a daunting task if you do not know which document contains the data you need. However, there are means of locating them without too much effort, for instance, SearchBasic.

The application enables you to identify words inside the contents of text documents in just a few keystrokes and mouse moves, returning the results within moments.

In terms of appearance, SearchBasic is not particularly impressive, but it is sufficiently intuitive and easy to handle, even for the less advanced computer users.

The main window is split into two tabs, namely ‘Search’ and ‘Options’, the former allowing you to define the lookup criteria, while the latter lets you configure size-related details, in order to refine the results.

For starters, you will need to specify the format of the file you intend to target; unfortunately, you can only use one at a time, for instance ‘.rtf’. In the ‘Text To Find’ field, you can input the word you are looking for, having the possibility of enabling case sensitivity by checking the corresponding box.

Equally important, you need to specify the targeted directory, being able to include or exclude subfolders, if necessary. In the ‘Options’ tab, you can limit the size of the files you want to search through, as well as their number or that of the displayed results.

Finally, you can press the ‘Search’ button in the main window and within moments, depending on how extensive the operation is, your results will be listed in the left panel, so you can click on the entries and view more details about them in the right panel. Optionally, you can open its file location or copy the text to clipboard.

In short, SearchBasic is a simple yet useful piece of software created to assist you in swiftly identifying names, addresses or other important information in text documents, without having to manually browse their contents.
