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 bridges you can burn
