InFile Seeker

InFile Seeker is a software tool that provides users with a simple means of searching for specific text strings inside multiple file types.

Seamless installation and tabbed environment

You are required to go through a pretty quick and surprise-free setup process, yet you should know it is also possible to bypass it, by simply taking advantage of its portable counterpart, called Portable InFile Seeker.

The interface you are brought to encompasses a tabbed designed, so that you can easily access all the available options. Moreover, it includes multiple buttons, a few boxes and a pane in which to view results.

Supported formats and add your own

This program enables you to look for a specified text string (words or phrases) in a large number of file extensions, such as TXT, PHP, HTML, XML, CSS, ASP and CPP, while you can also add other formats to search. It is also possible to select a directory or partition in which to look and restore the default file types with just a click of the button.

Preview results and customize a few settings

Results are going to be listed in the main window with their full paths, while a preview for all selected items is also available. Your keyword is going to be highlighted, while it is possible to open a file in its default program, or go to the previous or next instance.

The language can be changed with ease, while the color-coded system is also subject to customization and you can save the main seeking path and the window position when closing.

Bottom line

To sum up, InFile Seeker is a pretty efficient piece of software, which comes packed with a user-friendly interface. Jobs are completed in a fair amount of time, without burdening the computer’s performance and without popping up errors, hanging or freezing.
