Go Search!

A simple command line based utility to search files and directories on your system.

🛠️ Build

go build -o ./bin/search[.exe|.sh|...] search/src

🚴 Run

search <File|Directory|Pattern> [Options]

The search requests can be a file or directory name. You can also use glob pattern like * or [Ss]ong.* to look for your files!

For more information about the glob pattern visit its wiki page.

📎 Options

-b, --base          The root folder in which the search process begins.
                    On default, it starts at the current folder but you 
                    can specify manually to scan the whole system with
                    `--base "/"`.
-s, --stop          Stop the search process on the first match.
-m, --max           The search process stops automatically when it finds
                    more than 10000 matches. You can extend this limit
                    with this flag.
