Said about FileLocator as an alternative
fencepost FileLocator (the Lite version) is not just an alternative, it's the same program but with the branding changed during the build process to make it fit better for environments where "Ransack" may cause concerns

The most strong point of FileLocator Pro is that it has [text] tab, in which text can be copied to cripboard (with paragraph). FileLocator Lite and Agent Ransack cannot copy text.
Double-byte characters are supported (I tested Japanese language).
DocFetcher has same feature, but it usability is not so good.
FileSearchy is also not good.
