I’ve put some modified versions of Stuart R.'s Ferret Helper up at  
[http://www.eng.cse.dmu.ac.uk/~hgs/ruby/#ff.rb](http://www.eng.cse.dmu.ac.uk/~hgs/ruby/#ff.rb)  
My mods are to improve the number of file types searched, and to ease  
the  
configuration a little. I’ve got this to do what I need it to do so  
far,  
and don’t know if I will add further mods or not. At present I have  
other  
pressures, so it will be a while before I look into perfecting this  
further.

That web server is only in existence under sufferance, so the link may  
vanish  
(possibly after Christmas) but in the hope that this is of use to  
someone…
