Windows: Quickly search for files containing text in a folder tree without using the Indexing service

This is all you need:
http://astrogrep.sourceforge.net/

Just run it, point it at the source tree, maybe select file extension filters if you want and hit search.

It is much faster than Windows Search, searches inside files and does not need to be running all the time.
