Find

Category:
Summary: 
A Graphical Find-In-Files Utility
Current stable version: 
007
Primary author(s):

Find is a graphical front-end to the find and grep utilities.

It searches for specific text in a specified group of files or directories and shows the location of each instance of the found text. Each result can then be selected and either a) open a ROX Filer window showing the file, or b) open the file in a text editor and jump to the location of the found text.

This tends to be very useful for developers.
