"Quick and powerful"

Overall: An excellent tool that has helped me be more productive.

Pros: I use this tool frequently to find phrases used in various documents across multiple network directories. Despite scanning hundreds of documents over scores of directories, Agent Ransack returns the results quickly.

Cons: There is a minor learning curve in order to perform more complex searches. The positioning of the input screen may not be intuitive at first.

"Go to software for finding information in files"

Overall: I use this software very often and found it to be very fast and easy to use for my text searches.

Pros: The searches are fast and precise. I use this to find strings of information in folders of files. I can then copy the matching files and move them to other locations for specific processing.

Cons: I really have not found anything I did not like about this software.

"Un outil de recherches simple et efficace"

Pros: Logiciel de recherches très simple et à facile à utiliser.Il permet de retrouver rapidement des fichiers perdus ou des gros fichiers volumineux à supprimer.

Cons: Lorsqu'il tourne (en mode recherche), il utilise beaucoup de mémoires et peut ralentir notre PC.

"Gives powerful file search capabilities in a Windows environment"

Overall: Agent Ransack helped me search for keywords in files stored on Windows efficiently. This allowed me to search these files without needing Linux.

Pros: Agent Ransack allows me to search for keywords efficiently in directory structures of massive files in Windows. Prior to using Agent Ransack, I only experienced this capability in Linux.

Cons: File filtering does not contain as many features as text filtering contains. For instance, if I want to filter my search into only hidden files, I don't believe an option exists to do this.

Reasons for Switching to Agent Ransack: Using Agent Ransack is more cleanly integrated into Windows than Cygwin, which opens a Linux shell on Windows.
