    It always happens to me that i need to search source files from multiple folders,
    or from unity builtin shader folders, for some file thats contains some specific text..

    but there is never a good, small and free tool for it (or at least i haven't founded one.. and when i tried Find in Files with Notepad++ yesterday, it crashed the computer with blue screen), so had to make this simple tool to Find In Files!

    And this can be run from Explorer context menu too, to quickly search from folder.

    sources are here (ready build is available at Releases, and its visual studio 2017 WPF project)

    (searched "terrain" from builtin shaders folder, also snippet is shown where the string is located)
