I am working on legacy projects with thousands of files spanning more than 10 projects. I am wondering what other people are using for searching string in a text file.

I am using windows and i typically search on 10,000 files to make sure some code is not called from other places. I've tried numerous text search tools mentioned here such as Actual Search & Replace, Ultraedit, notepad++ but they all take very long time to search due to the large # of files they have to look into.
