NAME

       vizigrep - Graphical file contents search tool using regular expressions.

SYNOPSIS

       vizigrep [SEARCH-PATH]

DESCRIPTION

       Vizigrep  is a graphical user interface for performing fast and powerful searches inside a
       group of files.  Simply tell Vizigrep which folder you want to search and what you want to
       search for and it will quickly find all occurrences of your search string within the files
       and folders you have selected.  The search results are annotated to  show  you  the  lines
       containing your search term and color coding is used to help you quickly lock your eyes on
       to what you are searching for. If simple search strings are not powerful  enough  Vizigrep
       also understands regular expressions.

       If  the  optional  command  line  argument  SEARCH-PATH  is  given then it will be used to
       populate the search path field.

Navigation

       Vizigrep is very intuitively navigated using only the mouse.  Simply choose  a  folder  to
       search,  type  your  search  string and then click the Search button. Once the results are
       displayed you can click on the name of a file to open it in your chosen text editor.

       At your option you may also carry out searches using the keyboard.  Simply use the tab key
       to  move  the  input  focus (the keyboard cursor) between the three main controls: "folder
       entry", "search string entry", and the "search results".

       If you've used the tab key to focus the search results you  will  see  a  keyboard  cursor
       appear  within  the  results.  Hitting enter while the cursor is over one of the filenames
       will open that file in your chosen text editor.  You may also hold down the Shift key  and
       use the arrow keys to select and copy a portion of the results.

       A  new search Tab can be created via keyboard shortcut Ctrl+T.  A search Tab can be closed
       via keyboard shortcut Ctrl+W.
