How would you have it improved then?
Furthering that, how is it really any different from a Windows user downloading random software from the web?
Take legitimate tools such as Everything and AtroGrep.
How is downloading those much different than a script on GitHub or GitLab?
I suppose that both are just as dangerous and nobody is saying that it's not, but at some point, it just needs to be accepted that the end-user is going to have to be the responsible party. They are ultimately responsible for their actions, and should know how to navigate the web safely.
This isn't a problem inherent to Linux. It's any OS - mobile or desktop,
The Linux community can only do so much hand-holding. Same with Windows or Android, etc.
For windows I use a program called "astrogrep". It is free and works very well. You can search network drives with it as well.
No web interface but it works great. Should only show the contents of the files the user has permissions to anyways. http://astrogrep.sourceforge.net/
It's under \Mods\Core\Defs\ThingDefs_Items\Items_Luxury.xml .. for some reason.
Those bases are really defined in the weirdest of places. It'd be nice if all of them were grouped together or had their own file.
If you change it from there, then it'll most likely affect everything that has that 75 stack limit.. which is a lot of items. Since medicine and meals have a limit of 10, I'll leave you to find where those are defined. Just use some kind of text search program like astrogrep and it'll be a piece of cake.
On Windows I use AstroGrep. It's a nice little open source utility. It will search in all files of a particular directory and sub-directories, you can filter by file type if you want, etc. The interface is very intuitive and usable. One of the first few programs I install on a new computer.
It depends on what you are trying to accomplish.
To get you started, look at some windows GREP utils. Such as:
dnGrep is free
AstroGrep is free
powerGrep is good but 160 usd
Take a look at the screen shots to give yourself an idea of what's involved here.
Try one of the free ones first.
There is a learning curve for regular expressions.
I absolutely guarantee if he's asking here how to search more efficiently due to going through the files one by one, he unfortunately doesn't know python.
Anyone who knows python wouldn't be asking this question, to be honest. And anyone who knows Linux/Grep wouldn't either.
OP, I'm assuming you're on Windows and don't know Linux/bash/GNU/programming languages of any kind. Your best bet might be AstroGrep. Its a Windows GUI that uses grep behind the scenes and presents it to you in a traditional to windows way. Its free and open source.
Do you have notes on your computer? If it's an "open-book" exam, you can follow the advice in this thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/CarletonU/comments/g17mjo/if_you_know_you_know/
If you have text-based notes, I'd recommend following u/PlasmaLink's advice about using Notepad++ with all your notes open in separate tabs. You can also do the joining PDFs thing (or the alternative that I'd mentioned). If your prof had used PowerPoint, you can export the PowerPoint slides to PDFs and then join them together and do this.
EDIT: If you keep your notes in MS Word files, you can search through them using AstroGrep. There are probably other ways of doing this too.
Try Astrogrep
Granted this doesn't help for things that are not plaintext. Windows' indexing does have the benefit of using the "ifilter" system in order to also index file contents for those types which are common.
I used astrogrep, but I'm by no means familiar with the other options so there might be something better out there.
Should just need to set the target folder and set your search string. Then on the right side you click the file you want to see the results for and the bottom right window populates with the relevant lines.
edit: Oh and the logs you look for have names like "Log - 11-18-2018 1.13.57 PM - 1.htm" and should be in the "Log" folder, not the ones in the "Issue Log" folder. Good luck!
Cheers~
In a nutshell I used a Windows grep util, AstroGrep to search for search for strings relevant to mouse input and sensitivity. Narrowed it down to just a few files, so I just read through the important XML, made the edits, and tested it out.
