Multi-threaded File Searcher

Project Overview

Multi-threaded File Searcher is a Python application that allows users to search for a specific keyword across multiple files efficiently. By applying multi-threading, the application ensures faster performance while maintaining a responsive GUI using Tkinter that trackes the progress for each thread.

The usage of MultiThreading, unlike sequential Searching, can speed up the process up to n times in best-case senario, where n is the number of files being processed simultaneouslty.

Features

Multi-threaded Search: Files are processed concurrently, improving search speed.
Responsive GUI: The graphical user interface (Tkinter) runs on a separate thread to avoid UI hanging.
Real-time Progress Tracking: Updates on file progress and search status.
Pause/Resume Search: Users can pause and resume the search operation.
Keyword Highlighting: Generates an HTML file with the keyword highlighted (if found).
File Access: Double-click any file in the results to open it directly.

How It Works

Select Files: Use the "Select Files" button to choose files for processing.
Enter Keyword: Provide the keyword to be searched.
Start Search: Click "Start Search" to initiate the search.
Pause/Resume: Use the "Pause" button to toggle between paused and active states.
View Results:
- Real-time progress is displayed in the GUI.
- Generated HTML files highlight the found keyword.
