I know it was recommended, but I can't find the thread. As I recall,
it was in the Windows 7 group, but I would use it in 8 as well.

It's working great so far. Love being able to find stuff.

The only momentary annoyance was being reminded that it's not for
business use, but that's nothing.

Hi

Agent Ransack is a free 'lite' version of FileLocator Pro. It is free
for both personal and commercial use.

I'm using it since many years and I'm happy with it.

....but what about a freeware to search the _content_ of files?
 
Agent Ransack *does* search for file content.

So does Windows 7 built in search, just hit the Start button and type. Theonly thing Agent Ransack seems to do (from the screenshots) is do Boolean searches using AND, OR as well, i.e., "STUPID and JOHN and DOE". Not sure if it can do 'proximity searches' like "stupid w/5 "John Doe"", which will give you the word "stupid" found within five words of "John Doe". I use dtSearch (paid version) for such proximity searches.
