Agent Ransack

Although it doesn’t index your hard disk and isn’t especially fast at finding files, this program does have a few advantages over XP’s Search tool. When looking for text inside a document or an email, for example, it will show you the line or lines that a word or phrase appears on, without opening the file. Mastering the application can be a bit tricky but there are wizards available to help guide you through it.
