![]() ![]() Subsequent searches all take the same 3 minutes - can't take advantage of hard drive cache. The "Include binary files" setting seems to do nothing in terms of speeding up the search, it looks like binary files are still touched (bug?), but they don't show up in the search results. I excluded files larger than 2000KB (default). The next closest I've found for the same folder was grepWin. Subsequent searches in the same folder are on the order of seconds (until stuff gets evicted form the cache). 15k files are searched - the rest are likely skipped due to being binary files. ![]() VS2010 on a regular hard drive, no SSD, takes 1 minute to search a 20GB folder with 26k files, source code and binaries mixed up. I believe it intelligently searches only text (non-binary) files, and subsequent searches in the same folder are extremely fast, unlike with the other tools (likely the text files fit in the windows disk cache). Visual Studio's search in folders is by far the fastest I've found.
