"Windows Grep" for Mac/OS X (Leopard)?

I recently switched to Leopard from Vista and having a hard time finding some applications.

Is there a "Windows Grep" alternative for Mac/OS X (Leopard)? Tried googling, but mac apps are really difficult to find.

Thanks

Re: "Windows Grep" for Mac/OS X (Leopard)?

Update: TextWrangler seems to search inside text files, but:

it won't search .tpl files and its slooooow. Takes a minute or more for each search whereas windows grep searches almost instantly, never more than 10 secs.

Isn't there any windows grep alternative for mac?

Thanks

Re: "Windows Grep" for Mac/OS X (Leopard)?

Nah, I wan't a GUI-based.

Tried BBEdit, but it takes about a minute or more usually to search through the entire zen folder whereas windows grep took barely 10 sec or less. So I'll probably be looking for something else...

Installed Grep 1.1.6, but it won't open for me (on Leopard).

Oh, I might've not tried the correct set of keywords, lemme check the links..

Thanks!, DrByte :-)

UPDATE:

Tried several apps: Grep 1.1, BBEDIT (TextWrangler too), AquaGrep, grepAtree and Greppie.

...and Greppie seem to be the best.
