Hi,
When I use "Find in Files" in the Windows version I don't ever get any results back in the Messages pane (works fine for me in Linux). A command window opens and I can briefly see that grep is running, and if there's a lot of hits, I can see scrolling results in the command window, but it disappears too quickly to read any messages from grep. It is running gnu grep version 2.4.2.
The grep command shows in the Message pane, here is an example:
C:\path_to_grep\grep.exe -nHl -- StringToFind (in directory: C:\path_to_directory\directory)
The string to find and directory are correct for what I'm searching for.
Thanks,
Bob Snyder

there is a problem with reading the standard output of some programs on Windows. We are not yet sure what is causing the problems and how to fix it but in the meanwhile you can use the grep command from UnxUtils which is known to work properly.
You can download it from http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=9328

I have changed to the UnxUtils grep and now Find in Files is working.
Thanks,
