Stop button (stop search) can take some minutes on very large files

[lifenjoiner]

dir contains huge single files like emulator roms of 8GB+

Use the size limit "less than", first.
Terminating threads forcibly is not a good choice.

I don't want to limit file size as I need to search in big files too. Let's see what the author says, if there's some room for improvement or it can't be changed.

unfortunately, while a search is in progress of a very big file, stopping a search is only possible when a match is found or when that file is completely searched.

No way to insert some parallel "timed checkings" and in case stop the process, I guess...
I can live with that anyway, a bit annoying but the pros of grepWin of course highly surpass this rare case.

P.S. don't forget the incorrect help bubble on the Start/Stop button while is still searching...
