Search archives

(1/1)

justice:
I've made backups of gigs worth of webdevelopment related files and now I need to search through all of them (they're on several locations on the corporate network). They're in ZIP and RAR format. What's the best way to do this?
* I was considering setting up a desktop search program on our development server and have it index all. Is there a better way? http://search archives doesn't really help me. :(

* Unpacking them all in their own folder is an option but can't say I'd like the prospect of that although then I can use locate.
* I can convert all .rar files to .zip so windows own search can look through them, that is probably a good idea even if i go with a desktop search.

kimmchii:
i use ZipScan for archives search.

Ralf Maximus:
Archivarius searches within every known archive format, and many I've never heard of. 

Search the forums here for a number of posts related to Archivarius.

Lashiec:
WinRAR has its own search function as well.
