    "Everything" is an incredible search program when searching by filename. The best by far IMO, but Anytxt is for searching inside of documents. Everything cannot do this. They are best used together.

    Everything just searches file name and location, but any-text search file content.

    You have predefined file extension list. If you have some textual files with extensions not on this list (ie. .cpp, .h, .cs) you have no other solution besides installing the Pro version.
