Searching on windows is not convenient by default. I had to struggle finding files matching specific text pattern etc. Ever since we started using Agent Ransack, there is just no looking back anymore. You can search specific folders including sub folders, pause and play search conveniently. It also displays search results in real-time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It finds text in each and every file even in compressed files like jars and wars, very good when you are working with java files.

Finds text in very less files and supports RG's also. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

UI is much older, it can be improved and compressed output is not that much of requirement so it can be removed from results. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It indexes all my data and I have unlimited access to support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
