Ubuntu text retrieval artifact-SearchMonkey

Sometimes we need to search for files that contain certain texts or words. If you are a developer or programmer, you will often encounter such problems. Now, we can always use Linux commands to find all the files containing the specified text, but not everyone is keen on command line. I have seen good programmers who rely more on graphical tools than command lines.

If you prefer graphical tools, SearchMonkey is a perfect application for you.

SearchMonkey is your Desktop Search Engine

SearchMonkey recursively searches for directories, so you can sit down and relax while it is working. Users can use powerful regular expressions to search for file names and content, which makes SearchMonky return results more accurate.

In addition, SearchMonkey not only lists the files that may contain the content you are searching for, but also highlights the Matching content.
