It's very good, and I use it a lot, but it doesn't work with files marked
with the "Hidden" attribute, which sucks. I emailed the author about it
but he never replied. <Shrugs>. Had to unmark my files in question, do
the replace, then re-mark them as "Hidden" after. Annoying as hell.

One of these may suit.

Thanks for mentioning this one, new to me. Not blazingly fast but nice
options for presenting search results.

Another small, simple search application : "Find" from Paul Scott

I know about and use the shell extension. It's annoying that the key
combination doesn't work unless Everything is in memory. I guess
that's a price you pay for portability.

Are you talking about Barry Seal? He's deceased.
