File Name Results
This pane is only filled when matches are found.
Left clicking on a match will bring up content matches (displayed in the Context Results pane, if any), and right-clicking the row will bring up a sub-menu.
| Right-click menu | Description |
|---|---|
| Open | Opens the file name in your preferred text editor. See configuration. |

| Delete | Deletes the selected file forever, once confirmed. |
| Explore | Opens your preferred file browser that contains the selected file |
Context Results
This pane is only filled when text matches are found, and a result has been selected.
The line that matches the search expression will be shown in full, and the actual match text will be highlighted. Once text has been selected with the left-button, the right button will allow copy options, or select-all to be performed on the text. These allow text to be copied from the results window, and pasted elsewhere.
Advanced File Name and/or Contents Searching
To find files, using regular expressions can be achieved by filling out the File Name and Look In boxes. The starting file name can be typed, copied or selected by using the Open dialog. To search a single folder, uncheck the Search Subfolders box.
If you want to find a specific regular expression within a text file, then fill out the Containing Text box with a regular expression. Note: significantly less files are shown when Containing Text is added because binary files are skipped.
For a more specific search, add in min/max file size, and the after/before modified date (if known).
Once ready, press Play to start the search process.
Results (if any) immediately start appearing in the File name results table, and once complete the total number of matches is shown in the status bar.
Status Bar
Describes what is currently going on.
- Phase 1 searching is the gathering of files that match the filename, size and modified date criteria.
- Phase 2 searching is the internal checking of text files to match the search strings.
- Upon completion, the number of hits is displayed, along with whether this was an inverse filename search [inv] or [cancelled] by the user

| ^(make) | Finds every make file instance |
| ^(void function_name)(;)$ | Finds a function declaration, as opposed to the definition |
| \([a-zA-Z0-9\s] \) | Highlights all text within brackets |
