What happened to the Visual Studio extension for "Ultra Find"?

Question

What happened to the Visual Studio extension for "Ultra Find"? I've seen references all over this site and the Internet for this allegedly awesome extension. Here are a couple of links:

And here's a S.O. link:

How to exclude designer.cs from Visual Studio file search

However, when I search in the VS Extension Manager, nothing shows up. It's as if the extension never existed.

Answer 1

I am guessing the author pulled it for some reason, perhaps in anticipation of updating it for VS 2012. I noticed this disappearance too a few weeks ago, as I would check now and then to see if there was an official VS2012 release.

I wrote up instructions for using the VS2010 extension for VS2012 here. This is still relevant, if you still have it installed on VS2010 then this will allow you to get it up and running.

All very mysterious, I commented on his blog once or twice and never got a response. It's a shame because it's a great plugin. I still use it but, being seemingly unsupported, am looking for alternatives.

Edit

I switched to Entrian Source Search some time ago. This is commercial software but well worth the price. Not aware of any free alternatives that are nearly as useful.
