I use Fast GREP (yes it smokes) daily, available from BFDS area:

 FGREP184.ZIP      30,749  06-04-97    00:00:00
         FGREP v1.84 - FGREP (Fast GREP) is a small utility that can be
          used to find strings of characters in ASCII text files, and
          arbitrary sequences of bytes in other files.  String search
          capabilities are not extensive (no regular expressions), but
          FGREP is small and very, very fast.  FGREP is intended to
          replace the FIND filter with something faster and more flexible.
