Or you could just get cygwin, if you don't want the whole thing all you probably need is grep.exe and the main cygwin dll (sorry can't remember the filename off hand).

Cygwin (dll, etc.) / Findutils (find, xargs, etc.) / Grep

i installed wingrep....www.wingrep.com works pretty good; I would like it better if i could do boolean searches instead of strings....

thanks...
Wasn't there a grep like tool that came with the nt4 resource kit, or something? Cuz i swear i remember using it years ago.

All Unix tools for Windows. They are straight ports of the GNU counterparts. I have been using them for a while.

If by boolean you mean using a string like "this or this or this" to match multiple strings you can do that if it's a proper grep port, you just have to learn to use regular expressions.
