Search files and folders like notepad++

[CraftyMc]

Hello all,

I'm seeking a text editor with the function in notepad++ which allows you to search for phrases / syntax and lines of code within files and folders. Does anyone know what editor would allow this?

At the moment I use gedit but it only lets you search / search & replace the current open file. In notepad++ it searches through the selected directory and searches all files in the directory then tells you ever instance where the phrase etc is located and on what line the said code is.

I really need this as I do a lot of core changes and I use chrome developer tools / firebug to make changes on the front end and I need to editor to search the 1000+ files for the correct line / snippet of code.

Anyone have any suggestions?

I have seen you can use notepad++ on centos 7 with 'wire' but it seems a bit overkill for a text editor.
