Hi,
It would be useful to ship the Grep binary[1] (and dependencies) with
Geany for Windows. It could be added to the installer for not too much
extra size[2] and would enable the "Find in Files" feature to work on
Windows by default. Normally I wouldn't like to add more stuff to the
installer but I think without it Geany is missing a very useful feature
on Windows by default.
Does it sound reasonable or no?

[1] Probably this one? http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/grep.htm
[2] Based on above link maybe around 1-2 MB if its dependencies aren't
already shipped with Geany (ex. libiconv, pcre, etc.).
Just following up on myself. It seems Geany+GTK doesn't ship with iconv
or PCRE, so maybe GLIB uses Windows equivalent of iconv and PCRE is
compiled in statically? Just a guess.
I compiled grep myself inside MSYS with this[1]:
$ CFLAGS="-Os" LDFLAGS="-static" ./configure --enable-threads=windows
--disable-nls --disable-perl-regexp --disable-rpath
Somehow without --disable-perl-regexp it's only 1.15 MB and seems to
still have no dependencies that'd need to be shipped with it.
Cheers,
Matthew Brush
