not sure what difficulty you have with find, works fine for many of us
indeed, to have some control over the read and write, that's must!

also the file-open mode (text/binary) is needed as can't edit even ntbackup textfiles with current capabilities.

inbuild text searches, well... not sure if I vote for those, but doh, they can't be done before basic upgrade of the "file-engine".
