About TextTrace

TextTrace brings fast, regex-powered text search to the files on your own computer — right from your browser. Pick a folder, type a word or a regular expression, and TextTrace searches every matching file and shows each hit with the line number, file type, full path, and the matching text highlighted. It's built for developers, sysadmins, and anyone who needs to dig through logs, configs, scripts, and data files quickly. Private by design TextTrace only reads folders you explicitly choose, and everything happens locally in your browser. No files, search terms, or results are ever uploaded or sent anywhere. Note: TextTrace uses the File System Access API and works in Chrome. You'll be asked to grant access to a folder before searching. https://github.com/fardinbarashi/psGuiTextTrace
