Findwild is (yet another) program to search for files. It works quite differently from the other programs you may have used.
This software offers the following search criteria:
· directory path to search, with multiple wildcards placed anywhere
· file name(s) to search for, with multiple wildcards anywhere
· file name(s) to exclude, with multiple wildcards anywhere
· file content string(s) to search for, with multiple wildcards anywhere
· file content string(s) to exclude, with multiple wildcards anywhere
· file modification date within a desired range
· your choice of delimiters that define the file strings to be searched
Search criteria can be saved and recalled. It is relatively easy to modify a query incrementally, to zero-in on the results you need.
Performance Indicators:
+ Search /usr/share/* (69000 files) for all files containing the string thumb* 193 files found, 89 seconds
+ Modify the query to search only files named *.html 51 files found, 12 seconds
