make sure the title bar mentions beta. And the download link section says it is a beta and may contain some bugs.

Also the program should have a separate ...

Update: TextCrawler 4 is well underway and looking very good with a new MDI (multi-search) interface. I hope to post some screenshots soon.

any update on a newer 3.x version planned?
