I presume (cause of your praise of same) that that's a sad "sniff" as opposed to a ...sniffy :D one
Darwin:
Yup - sad sniff... I still love it, but am (late) spring cleaning my harddrive. The 60+ applications that I removed freed up over 5 GB of space :o

Good heavens! It'll take you at least a week to replace those with alternative clutter... ;)
Darwin:
Minimum, Chris ;D

I received this letter from the author:
Hi Curt,
Glad that you like LookDisk (I'm the author).
In the current version LookDisk can only find text within 'plain' textfiles and PDFs but not within RTF/DOC. To be precise it will find text within RTF/DOC as long as it's not formatted text (e.g. in bold or italic) as the text would be interspersed with formatting characters. Nevertheless, support for RTF/DOC is something I'm planning to implement soon.
As for Vista support, unfortunately it's not a straightforward port from XP so that might take a longer...
Regards,
Vincenzo

Promising - but for now, I think $30 is too much.
