https://tinyurl.com/gsm-0-8-3

Available in RPM or SOURCE packages, with DEB coming soon!

1.1 Fixed

1.1.1- when the size of text preview is too large, the highlighting is misplaced - this bug is known by Adam : DONE
1.1.2- word wrapping isn't effective : DONE
1.1.3- all advanced options (expert mode) aren't sometimes effective ; why ? Because if the notebook isn't opened on position #2, those options are inactives ! Now, even if notebook is in position #3, those options are ACTIVES. DONE
1.1.4- sometimes, even if the option 'show line contents' activated, Searchmonkey show ONLY one line : DONE (seems linked to somewhat with wizard , if the wizard is activated, even for nothing, BEFORE research, the display is correct !)
1.1.5- reactivated "limit content hits" options in notebook's option panel. DONE
1.1.6- option 'simple search syntax' isn't activatable : reactivated. DONE
1.1.7- when "extra lines" for "containing text search" is activated, the highlighting was misplaced : DONE
1.1.8- found a "cool" bug mistmach between Kilo-bytes and Mega-bytes file size display : DONE
1.1.9- isn't really a bug, but under /configuration>preferences and systeme calls in dialog if we want that the web browser is called correctly, the correct syntax is (for example Firefox : /usr/bin/firefox and the parameter only %f) ; fixed by remobe the "new-tab" string. DONE
1.1.10- With the "Test Regular expressions" dialog, the highlighting is wrong (shifted) with accented chars (i.e. chars with more than ONE byte by char) ; it's not critical, but annoying. DONE... read more

Check it out today, and while you are here why not download the latest 0.8.2 release?

Searchmonkey is easy to install, but while we wait for the distros to automatically package and bundle Searchmonkey 0.8.2 users can benefit from the newest release by compiling the source code.

For some this is easy, for others - perhaps this is their first time - and if so they can check out the FAQs available in the WIKI.

Enjoy - there is much more to come still!

It's been 10 years since the last release, but Searchmonkey is back!

Ok, I admit it - it was probably the most boring, grey icon I could have possibly chosen, but now thanks to Peter Cruickshank's initative searchmonkey has a new look and icon!

Check it out right now, by browsing:
http://searchmonkey.sourceforge.net/index.php/Icon

Let me know what you think of the new look; this is open source software, so lets make things better!

With version 0.7.3 comes minor bug fixes, and minor improvements.

Let me know how you get on with it!

As my time is being split between family life, day job, and searchmonkey, I am looking for a developer to help bring searchmonkey to 1.0.

Get your hands on the latest searchmonkey release now!

Hot off the press, this minor upgrade improves Gnome support:
# make install-gnome

Fixing a minor bug from version 0.7.0, and updating the CSV and table results view, this version is definitely worth upgrading too.

If you are using anything less, upgrade now!

Enjoy!

Why not try the latest and greatest searchmonkey? With new features such as import/export, extra configuration options, improved wizards, and the ability to sort the results, you may say its too good to miss!

Let me know how you get on with it.

p.s. For those that don't know - searchmonkey is a slick regular expression graphical search utility.

With the new release of 0.6.3 making minor adjustments to the documentation, I've also taken the opportunity to release a Windows exectutable.

The port is still in its infancy (hence the self-service nature of the zip), but hopefully future code drops will be more convienient - if anybody would like to adopt the windows port (or even a MAC port!!) please get in contact!

Let me know how you get on with it - I'm still very busy with new baby, but keen to see searchmonkey become adopted by more operating systems, and users!... read more

I've recently become a father, so Searchmonkey progress will have to take second place for the short-term.

Keep emailing me if there are any bugs/features that you want, and I'll add them to the list - they will get done, just not today!

Non ASCII character bug now fixed from text searching.

Minor release 0.6.1 is now backwards compatible with release Gtk 2.6.2.

Following the project name change, test out the latest search app.

As a graphical replacement for find/grep, at version 0.6.0 nearly all of the key features are in place.

Find out more at http://searchmonkey.sf.net

After some careful thought (and one patent infringement later) Xsearch has been renamed searchMonkey.

Hopefully this name will be good for a while!

Rebranded, and improved code coming very soon.

If you are lucky enough to be running FC5, why not give the RPM a try from the download section?

In addition, a source RPM has been provided for better distrobution.

Let me know how you get on.

Unfortunately version 0.4 had a post-production bug in it, so it has been replaced by version 0.4.1.

This is a stable beta product, so please let me know how you get on with it.

Enjoy!

This version supercedes all previous releases!

Try it today - you won't be disappointed. :-)

Please find the new and improved (and stable) 0.3.

In the next few days I hope to get it to 0.4 with more features complete.

Following a phenomenally fast uptake in such a short time, and the kind feedback from people, I am please to announce the version 0.2 Alpha release.

This version is far more stable than the first release, and wil hopefully allow users to benefit from the tool whilst giving me the opportunity to update the tool to full functionality (beta).
