 * Hi,
 * Is there a way to search through all plugin files at the same time? I need to
   find one particular code, but there are so many files in the plugin that it takes
   ages to search in every single one of them.
 * Thanks

 * You can use ‘grep’ in linux environments, or the ‘findstr’ command in Windows.
   If you prefer a visually oriented interface/gui tool and are using a Windows 
   OS, [dnGrep ](http://dngrep.github.io/)is one of my favorites. Be sure to read
   the .NET dependencies before installing it if you decide to give it a try.
