Find In Context 2.00 (Shareware, $29.95)

Find In Context shows all relevant fragments of your files together in a single report, where you can read them straight away, and the built-in context viewer allows you to browse through bigger fragments of the original files instantly, without having to open them in other programs. The fast and flexible proximity search algorithm and the file access engine of the program are specifically optimized for typical real-world search scenarios, where you modify the keywords and search the same collection of files again to get better results. You can search the files located in any folder on the hard drive of your Windows computer (or other computers connected to yours via a LAN) for any words or word fragments, and within seconds you'll have the most relevant paragraphs shown to you in your browser. The program allows you to search through any kind of files, including databases and files which normally cannot or are not supposed to be opened and searched directly, e.g. email databases, swap files, cache and cookie

Wanyword 4.00 (Freeware)

Text search with Boolean and NEAR or proximity operators. ANSI/OEM search and conversion on the fly which is not unimportant since there is a lot of old DOS text around and umlauts and accents may give problems here. Sets of found files can be saved. There is a TXT/RTF editor which understands OLE and has recursive search and replace. You can see HTM files without the HTM codes, but WanyWord is NOT a HTM editor. You cannot see the graphics in a HTM page but WanyWord now has a built-in browser. You can sort by word, line and page.WanyWord cannot do fuzzy searches, it is very literal minded.There are Brazilian, Danish, German and English interfaces and helpfiles and you can roll your own interface in your own language. WanyWord is freeware and the Visual C++ source is included.
