Portable AstroGrep is a simple to use tool designed to facilitate searching for files in Windows. The program allows you to create searching filters, by inclusion or exclusion, and specify the file extension, contained text or host folder. The application also allows you to preview the files in its interface.

Portable AstroGrep features powerful searching functions, which allow you to find the desired file by certain keywords. It searches for the words both in the file name, as well as in its contents and highlights the results in the text.

You may perform simple searches and detect files by their names, as well as filter the task by inserting file extensions. The supported file types are HTML, TXT, Java, JSP, ASP, JS, INC, SQL, BAS and several source code formats, including VB, CS, CPP, C, H or ASM.

The results are displayed in a table, along with the file names, path, extension, date of modification and the count of the keywords in each file.

Portable AstroGrep allows you to customize the searching process by inserting additional rules. Thus, you can add Regular Expressions to the criteria, as well as enable the case sensitive option, search for the whole word or show all the results when the search is over.

The program can perform recursive searches and allows you to extend the list of supported extensions by unchecking them from the exclusion list. This list is designed to restrict the searching results and provide more accurate output. You can enable searching for executables, DLLs, images, help files or directories.

When the search is finished, Portable AstroGrep can display the occurrences of the keywords within the contents of each file. You may view this effect in the designated space and search for more terms within the selected items. The program can wrap the lines, remove blank spaces or display the entire file.
