So you are doing searching on directories and file names Not quite; the serialized array *does* contain the directory list. Imagine $tree = ( [0] => ( [0] => ./d1 , [1] => ./d2 , [2] => ./d2/s1 , [3] => ./d2/s1/s2 , ) , [1] => ( [0] => ./d1/f1 , [0] => ./d1/f2 , [1] => ./d2/f3 , [1] => ./d2/f4 , [1] => ./d2/f5 , [2] => ./d2/s1/f6 , [3] => ./d2/s1/s2/f7 , [3] => ./d2/s1/s2/f8 , ) ) or so. Now my input is 'd1' or 'f2' or even 'd1 f2' or such. % based on what is in the serialized array? Will you need to search the % document in the near future? Presumably; this is a way to look through a directory tree and return pointers to those that match. Typically we'll have an array of 20 or 30 directories; often we'll have maybe 100; on rare occasion we might have 250 or more. % % Lucene has that logic in it.

Probably, but I'm more worried about handling some wacky input like (this or that) and the and (ot or her) or something wonky. So I could always kick back a "no way, buddy!" error but I don't want to throw up all over everything getting confused by it. % % -- % Ray Thanks & HAND :-D -- David T-G * There is too much animal courage in (play) davidtg@justpickone.org * society and not sufficient moral courage.
