For years I was using Notepad++ to search strings in files, but I could not filter what type of files to search from file types – for example, php, html, css, etc… Also, I had to spend a few seconds to select the location of the folders to search from my hard drive, at least for local development. This plugin allows me to not only filter which files to search, but also for live sites, I can search on the spot without having to download the themes/plugins if I don’t have copies of them on my pc. And at an added bonus, it works really fast. Not necessarily a must use tool, but a great help and time saver for developers and alike.
