I always find the search inside files functionality in Windows XP very inconsistent and sluggish. And whenever I need to search for things in files I use this excellent freeware utility from RJL Softwares. Its called Simple Search-Replace. It is extremely fast and allows for the you to replace that text too .

Other features include backup support for changed files, command line support, case sensitivity, multiple file types, subdirectory support, result printing and saving etc. The software works great for all kinds of ASCII files like .txt, .html. .php or batch files or any text files in short. The software is just ~400KB compressed and around 4MB for a windows installer.
