FEATURES
• Tab 0 — Grep Search & Syntax Context Viewer: Recursively search directories
(supporting real home, removable media, and host read-only system paths
such as /etc and /usr) using file type masks (e.g. *.py;*.cpp;*.js;*.txt),
Plain text, RegEx, Whole Word, Case Sensitive, and Negation mode (list files
WITHOUT match). Inspect matching files alongside a rich line-numbered
context viewer showing configurable 0 to 10 Before/After context lines,
dimmed context hunks, and bright highlighted matching spans.
• Tab 1 — Extension Hit Breakdown & File Reader: Interactive extension
breakdown chart and table grouping matched files and total hit counts by
file extension, paired with a line-jump file reader to jump directly to any
matched line in full source context.
• Tab 2 — Exclude Rules, Presets & Export: Configure directory and extension
exclusion filters, optional PDF/Office document text search, manage saved
JSON grep presets, switch between English and Vietnamese UI, and export
full search results with context lines to formatted TXT or CSV reports.
