Grepy is a Windows utility that allows you to quickly and easily search through files for a text string.

Features:

• Allows you to search through files for text using regular expressions.
• The search results window displays file text before and after the search match to let you see the context around the match.
• Grepy has a clean and uncluttered interface that allows you to search for what you want with minimal keystrokes and mouse clicks.
• Uses Windows File Explorer integration so you can quickly search specific folders by right-clicking on them.
• Saves previously used search expressions, filespecs and folders in a drop down list so you can quickly reuse previous entries (saves typing).
• Saves the position and size of all windows, sliders and column sizes so the layout stays the way you want it to be.
• Will automatically skip binary files (.exe, .obj, .lib, .bin, etc.) during searches to save time.
• Lets you assign a custom editor application to use to open files (to override the default Windows File Association).
• Uses a configurable number of background threads for file searching which allows you to immediately open files as the search results are populated.
• Grepy is small (loads quickly) and fast (searches very quickly).
• If you have the Everything search engine installed, Grepy will automatically use it to collect the list of files to be searched.
