GUI of indexed grep in Windows and Linux. A source code indexing tool, near instant code search tool and navigation. Good for small to medium size code base. It supports fuzzy matching, auto complete, and live grep for real time query. Manage different projects and switch for different projects Drag and drop of filenames to your favourite editor.
- Fast search using prebuilt index
- Fuzzy suggestion in autocomplete
- Live grep
- Drag and drop for filename to your favourite editor
- Switch between multiple projects
- Very small index size compared to trigram
- Replaces in files for searched symbol
- Cross platform
Windows and Linux binaries are available in
Source code is avaliable in
- Support directory to exclude and file mask to exclude
- can now use *.* as source file mask to process all text file. Binary files will be skipped.
- default source file mask set to *.*
-
Drop the folder (e.g. from file explorer, nautilus) into the window below project tab.

A new project dialog will appears. Type the file extensions that you want to index.
- Right click on the project name
- Click "Rebuild Symbol"
- Double click the project name to make it the active project. Or right click and select "Load"
- Start file filtering and code search on the file and symbol tab
For symbol queries, advanced options can be entered: There is no spacing in between e.g. /a10, /n3, /xinclude
- /a NumberOfLinesAfter
- /b NumberOfLinesBefore
- /n NumberOfLinesBeforeAndAFter
- /f FileNameToMatch
- /x PatternToExclude
In addition, regular expression can be entered for the queries: e.g. .*mainWindows, (_clicked|_Pressed) It will match all ("and" condition) if multiple symbols are entered for queries.
The text editor when double clicking the filename in file tab could be set in configuration. The filename could be dropped to other editor. Option->Setting->Main->Default Editor
In the text field for symbol, "/n3" could be used to display 3 lines before and after
Multiple symbols (and condition) could be input for symbol queries.
e.g. Multiple match are input "CMainWindow", "_on" as queries.
Regular expression could be used to filter the project name and source filename name.
e.g. "Or" condition for project name using the pipe "|" regular expression.
