For those of you who use wingrep (a great program I might add) this lil script will fix the nagware on exit. Sorry but I had to do it.

http://www.wingrep.com/

Two other ways to do it:
- Pay the author;
- Use a freeware like Agent Ransack (which might have less functionnality, I admit).
As you wrote: "Sorry but I had to do [mention] it."...

Although I loose features, I choose to stick to freewares, since I cannot afford to pay sharewares and don't want to abuse.
Of course, that's just my opinion.

Note: WinGrep author doesn't know how to code HTML (CSS) to be cross-browser compatible, obviously. His site looks ugly on Firefox...

I recently switched from Agent Ransack to Superfinder, it's very good.

I think such scripts should not be allowed on the forum. This is like supporting stealing.

As PhiLho said if people are bothered by the nag screen they should either pay for it or not use that particular software.

I suppose you are writing about this Super Finder...
Let's try it.
Good points: It offers a simple Zip download (no install, no fuzz). It has several translations, one in French. Interface is fancy, but not in my face (ie. not too much skinned).
Bad point: One of my favorite ways of specifying a path is to drag'n'drop a folder from Explorer to the Path edit field (I often search where I explore, and using a browse button is usually slower); it doesn't allow it. But it integrates itself to Windows contextual menu, so this is a minor problem.
Good point: It seems to be fast. First search is normal, next searches are very fast.
Bad points: It doesn't support regular expressions like Agent Ransack. And very important for me, it is more like Windows' Search than like a grep, ie. it doesn't display the relevant lines in a textual search.
So, actually, it isn't a kind of WinGrep, but a simple Search.
Yet, it can be useful for quick searches, I might keep it for simple file searches.

great analysis phil! I guess i never used those advanced search features!

since you know ransack so well, ,do you know if there's a way to save the default search location so that it's there whenever you open it (wihtout saving a profile thingy)

I don't know, I always start AR from the context menu, because I want to do searches from where I am.
But IIRC, it has combo boxes holding the latest values (file pattern, search pattern, pathes).
