How can I search in files (like Java files) in Vista?

Is there a way or tool for Vista that I can use to find content in Java files? (I don't have an Eclipse project for it)

I used to be able to do this easily in the Windows search tool when I had Windows 2000.

Edit: I've already included "search file content" and added additional file types as recommended by xsl and Grant Wagner, search still returns no results ...

Personally, I just use BareGrep (and previously Agent Ransack ) which is fast, supports regex and display strings that match.
grepWin is fine too (can replace lines) but doesn't show lines.

There are many search tools. The simplest and smallest is GNU grep.



I personally use Far (for many things, not just searching).
