Description: AstroGrep is A Microsoft Windows GUI File Searching (grep) utility. Features include regular expressions, versatile printing options, stores most recent used paths and has a "context" feature which is very nice for looking at source code.
Other: It appears to be a single executable and doesn't have an installer. It may only need a wrapper to put it in the Portable Apps Format.

It uses .NET. I knew as soon as I launched it and it took longer than it should have to come up.
Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
I really wanted a GREP GUI to put on my USB drive. I use BareGREP now, but it isn't open source.
Thanks for looking at it!
dnGREP is another open source .NET based project (http://code.google.com/p/dngrep/). It does not require installation and can be copied straight to a thumb drive. Current version includes:
* Shell integration (ability to search from explorer)
* Plain text/regex/XPath search (including case-insensitive search)
* File move/copy/delete actions
* Undo functionality
* Optional integration with text editor (like notepad++)
* Bookmarks (ability to save regex searches for the future)
can't use .Net. At least, not yet. .Net isn't always on every computer.
Geany can use grep t hough. Don't know how in depth you want it to be.
Too many lonely hearts in the real world
Too many bridges you can burn
Too many tables you can't turn
Don't wanna live my life in the real world
