Small code-search utility released on FRED 55 Bits & Bobs. We didn't have IDEs back in those days so I wrote this little utility to find strings (methods, text) in code files on disk -- useful when you forget where you left something.
Firstly is a code searcher program by Martin 'Duhh' Fitzpatrick. It's a really simple program, but very useful. The main reason I like it is that you can see where it is in the code, so you know how long to wait rather than looking at a black screen.

It looks like search speed is more like step size and will miss
