Could you please add a feature which allow me to search in multiple folders.
Current implementation only allows to search in a single folder, but sometimes I need to search in several different folders.

Would be appreciated if you can add this feature. Thank you very much. Thanks for providing us this excellent software.

I just happen to see this and want to remark that searching in multiple folders works in principle: I simply mark several folders in Windows Explorer, then right-click and use the "grepwin..." option in the popup menu.

But see Issue 330 in this connection.

Thank you very much. It's a way to solve this issue. I usually use grepwin to search source code in several folders, it would be more convenient if I can pre-set these folders, then I don't need to mark these folders every time.

Anyway, thank you. Hopefully, this feature will be included in next version.

well... searching multiple folders is possible when you split them by "|" such as C:|D:\ which will search in either C:\ or D:\
Also, grepWin should remember your last used folders.. simply push the "/" button on the left or simply double click the folder input control.

It would be pretty neat if multiple folder selection was possible from grepWin's UI. Even something simple like detecting a | in the input field after the last folder then appending folders selected with the ... button rather than replacing its contents.
