I’ve pointed this out to a couple of people over the last week, so I though I’d try and double that number by posting about it. If you need to search through progress code, or for that matter any text file, on an XP box then you should investigate findstr. It’s virtually a grep for windows which is pre-installed on any modern PC. It doesn’t require or use an index for searching, although it does seem to have a temporary cache of the files which have been searched recently, and it’s text only.
cd templivesource
findstr /sim "G.Robertson Gordon.Robertson" *.i *.p *.w
