In a more and more busy world, it's common to have plain text files in different languages, possibly saved in different encodings. What would you do if you happen to have the need to pick up the one or ones containing a specific keyword or keywords from thousands of such text files?

It is not that an unusual user case. Imagine your media play is capable of loading and displaying lyrics while playing songs. Now you want to find the one containing several specific words - the lyric that you still remember in the song, from the thousands of lyric files you have on your hard disk. The songs could be in English / French / German / Chinese or whatever, so are the lyrics.

Then if you are a Web author, how about finding a PHP file containing a specific keyword from thousands of source code files scattered in tens of subdirectories? Well, recent Windows File Explorer seems to be somewhat helpful, but hey, it's not cool, and it's buggy.

DAAV's full-text search tool for Unicode plain-text files is able to do search on all kinds of text files, no matter they are in which languages or saved in which encoding. It's the right answer to your needs of full-text search on plain-text files! Give ZhGrep a try to fully assess its capabilities!
