After a bit of polish, Drive Rummager is available for download (from OneDrive or Google Drive). Drive Rummager enables brute force searching for terms and expressions under any directory structure. Software developers will find this functionality useful if they want to ensure they have changed terminology in multiple source controlled products (yes, some source control products provide this same functionality, but sometimes find things you do not care about too).
Look for help documentation and a YouTube video in the future. Unfortunately, if you have issues you will need to get in touch with me via social media. The last I checked it was most similar to FileLocator Pro/Lite (or Agent Ransack) by Mythicsoft, if you are looking for a more full-featured product.
Drive Rummager works with .NET 6 already, but I am not listing that as a feature (perhaps UWP and publish on the Windows Store in the future). Once I am ready I would like to open source Drive Rummager, but if you want to decompile or reverse engineer it with JetBrains dotPeek, I will encourage your efforts to make something better!
