a command-line full-text search engine Quickstart ---------- add it to your $PATH and run like $ fts --init # creates .fts.db in the current directory and index everything underneath it $ fts bacon # find "bacon" in files in the current directory Whenever files have changed: $ fts --sync Searching --------- Syntax is sqlite's fts4 query language (http://www.sqlite.org/fts3.html) $ fts 'sqlite AND database' Also supported are regex queries. The regex engine is python's re module (http://docs.python.org/2/library/re.html) $ fts --re 'create( virtual)? table' If you use regex searching, consider installing `re2` (http://code.google.com/p/re2/ + http://pypi.python.org/pypi/re2/), as fts will use it if present Other commands -------------- # sync the database state with the disk state (must be done when files are changed) $ fts --sync # ignore various types of files (you'll want to --sync afterwards) $ fts --ignore-re '\.git/objects/[A-Za-z0-9]$' $ fts --ignore-glob '*.pyc' $ fts --ignore-simple '.svn' $ fts --ignore-simple 'corefile' $ fts --list-ignores $ fts --rm-ignore 1 # stop ignoring this type # optimize the database after lots of writes have occurred $ fts --optimize See also `fts --help` Most commands can be combined. To --init a new database and search it immediately: $ fts --init --ignore-glob='*.pyc' 'what to wear?' Or to ignore object files and immediately remove them from the database and defragment it: $ fts --ignore-glob '*.o' --sync --optimize Exit codes ---------- 0: there were no errors. if a search was run, at least one result was found 1: there was an error 2: a search was run and no results were found Other: an unhandled internal error occurred
