Hi, Thanks for the great job. As we work more and more with compressed document files (xml docx xlsx odt ods pdf - ms office, libre office, some graphic formats, pdf ) , are there any plan on adding a module to look inside those type of file ?
Y PS I use Total commander to do it but it's so slow compared to grepWin!

Also searching in archives would be useful too, which is implemented in dnGrep :

Too ambitious, at least when there is no proper solution. Look at their size, I don't think you expect grepWin to become another dnGrep. Size Vs features. There is definitely a balance.
