Text Filter is a simple-to-use program with limited features which allows you to quickly locate text within a document. It can be handled even by less experienced users.
The interface of the application is based on a plain and intuitive window where you can import a text document (e.g. TXT, RTF) by using the file browser or 'drag and drop' functionality. Alternatively, you can paste text directly in the main application window.
So, Text Filter's main attraction is that you can use a search function to locate text while writing it; each found entry is highlighted in yellow. Furthermore, you can access recently used files, enable word wrapping mode, and make the app hide matched or unmatched files.
But you can also disable the toolbar and status bar, toggle the auto-suggest search feature, as well as pick an option between 'Naive', 'Smart' and 'Regex' query.
The straightforward software application runs on a very low amount of CPU and system memory, has a good response time, supports keyboard shortcuts, and includes user documentation. No error dialogs have been displayed throughout our testing and Text Filter did not freeze or crash. Although its lack of advanced features may disappoint advanced users, rookies can quickly learn how to work with Text Filter, thanks to its intuitive layout and overall simplicity.
