What is your logic % for implementing the search? Very, very simple stuff. The list of directories and files is held in an array (a separate process uses File_Find->maptree() to make it after any updates and writes the serialized array to a cache file, and then I read it in) and I just want to do a text match. At the moment I'm using preg_grep but that just got a little unweildy because the next requirement was for 'or' separated by spaces, so I quickly explode(' ')d the input and now loop through the search array but I really don't want to have to write a boolean parser (did it for class in college; that was enough :-) % % I have used lucene (Jakarta-Apache) for doing searchs that is % outstanding.
