PRGrep is a word search tool that helps you to find a string or words in text and more effectively if you have lot of files with many sub directories.Its very difficult at time when you are looking for a word inside a file and you have hundreds of words. it I was looking for “Myavtar” word inside my themes file which has around 20 files.

I tried using Windows search but like many times it gave me no results. PRGrep is a free utility which allows you to search for a word or phrase in a single or multiple text file. The output gives a clear idea in number of lines, complete path and highlights wherever its present. Take a look at the image which shows the exact result.
