This is somewhat tangential to XyWrite, but may be of interest. I've
written a GUI wrapper for Grep for Windows, the text-search tool.
Searches across multiple files/filespecs are fast. Results can,
optionally, be exported to the default Windows text editor or to
Microsoft Word as rich text. (The rich-text conversion highlights the
search terms(s) and handles basic XyWrite text modes such as bold,
underline, italics, etc.)
GUI Grep is a compiled AutoIt script. You can download it here:
http://xywwweb.ammaze.net/dls/GGREP.ZIP
Unzip GGrep.exe into a directory of your choosing and launch it as you
would any Windows program. (Note that EXEcutable AutoIt scripts
sometimes trigger virus warnings; these are false positives.)
Among other things, GGrep.exe is a handy word-lookup tool. There's an
expanded collection of plain-text or XyWrite-formatted dictionaries,
thesauruses, and other reference works here:

Enjoy.
PS for U2 users: There are some new grep-related tools in the Jumbo U2.
