TXT files are essential for digital communication and data management. These raw text documents are small in size and allow for a platform-independent exchange of information. TXTs serve as configuration files, notes, and storage for programming data, and are often used for automation and documentation. Their ease of use allows them to be created, edited and understood without the need for special software.
However, filtering out information in TXT files presents challenges: information is not visible at a glance, multiple files cannot be searched at the same time, and incorrect character encoding can make them unreadable. Find out here how searchit solves these problems:

What programs can I use to open and search TXT files?
TXT files can be opened and searched using various programs such as Notepad, Notepad++, TextEdit, gedit, Sublime Text, and Visual Studio Code.

How can I search multiple TXT files for keywords or strings?
There are several approaches to search multiple TXT files at once:
- Manual search: Open each file individually and use the search function in the text editor (“Ctrl + F” or “Cmd + F”) to search for keywords.
- Script-based search: Programming-savvy users can write Python or Bash scripts to automatically search for keywords in selected files.
- Enterprise search tools offer a more efficient solution: These tools can index large amounts of text files and make it possible to search for strings, keywords and even synonyms via a central user interface.
