title: Best tool to search large drives for file content?
body: <p>EDIT:
  Ok So I found an indexing tool <a href="http://www.voidtools.com/" rel="nofollow">Everything</a> but it is half what I may need. Is there a tool that does the powerful indexing of "Everything" and provides a PowerGrep like search also?</p>
  
  <h2>Thanks</h2>
  
  <p>I am a bit lost in trying to find the best known tool for searching file(s) for some specific content. Since I have multiple drives and the data size ranges from 1TB to 100TB, I was wondering if there are some robust tools that can do a hard drive search. </p>
  
  <p>One tool that I found was PowerGrep, on a small test for 23GB of data, it took about 11 minutes to find a string in a specific file. This would be reasonably fast for some, but is there something better?</p>
  
  <p>I know that performance would be well affected depending upon the folder structures, drive configuration etc. </p>
  
  <p>Is this the right approach or is there an extra step involved in file searching that is required?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks for the precious input!</p>
