Find in Files

File management can go beyond the usual media collection demeanor and turn to the more complex, inherent side of things, the content of files that is. When it comes to files that contain text format, keeping order can ensure that you can find information much quicker. However, for searching content in large volume text files, Find in Files can provide a set of tools that will help users find the information that they seek, much faster.

Users will be able to add individual or multiple files, and the app offers batch processing capabilities, which could be good news to those who have large numbers of files to work with. The added files are neatly displayed in a list view, which makes for easy identification.

Speaking of the list view, if you’ve added a considerable number of files, the sorting module will allow you to keep them organized. We were content with the fact that the sorting can be done according to the name, type, or, even the detected phrase.

Having added files, users can input their search criteria and preview the sentences or phrases where the text string is contained. No complex expressions are supported as input for the searches, and no queries can be added either.

Nevertheless, the speed and efficiency with which the app manages to highlight the identified content, compensate for the other, extra features that might be missing.

Give Find in Files a try, if you seek a minimalist tool for searching content in text files, without having to resort to complicated approaches.
