SearchInFiles: Another Finding Tool for the Mac
February 24, 2012
Numerous scenarios could lead to you needing to search for a specific string of text inside of a document, whether you are writing code or a lengthy document.
A new Mac download, SearchInFiles, is an app available that allows users to search for specific text lines, an ability that would be useful for programmers and writers alike. The app is highlighted in LifeHacker’s article, “SearchInFiles Finds Text Strings in Any Document”
By default, Spotlight allows you to search for a line of text inside a document, but SearchInFiles supercharges the process a bit by offering more options. It shows you the exact line and context it appears in and digs through all types of text files, including, CSS, XML, TXT, and more. It’s not going to be relevant for every search you do, but the context support makes it a handy alternative to Spotlight when you just need to find a single line or two.
SearchInFiles makes work and search simpler by adding context and line numbers to search results. The app is available for only $.99 in the Mac App Store, and is a useful tool solving a common issue.
