I don't know if this has been requested before but I find myself often
wanting to use something I created before in one of my apps but I don't know
which one it was.
It would be nice to have a search this project or folder for a file for some
content similar to what MS has in the Visual Basic editor for excel or word
etc.
I know this feature is available through using the windows explorer, but
there I have to set the specific folder as a search parameter plus I have to
leave dBase to use it and often it does not work for me.

Just a word of caution:
A few years ago I was using WinGrep and it worked good for searching BUT,
when I tried a search and replace all hell broke loose. It made a mess. I
did a little more testing to be sure and what I found was a buggy search and
replace.

Claus,
I was introduced to WinGREP at my last job and I continue to use it. It
does not fill your wish because it is a separate program, but I like it
much better than using Windows Explorer. http://www.wingrep.com

No problem, but as I say they might have that resolved by now.
