¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
You need OS2.0 or higher!!!
QUICK OVERVIEW
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Tired of slow text search tools which pretend to be fast?
Want something real faaast?
Try FlashFind. It searches through a 2.5MB text on hard disc in 10 seconds
on a plain 68000er!!! For comparison c:search is about 40 times slower.
FlashFind uses a highly optimised, assembler coded Boyer-Moore search
algorithm. Additional speed is gained by using asynchron IO.
HISTORY
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
1.2
o FlashFind is now upto 100% faster (depending on your processor)
o files containing the character `' (code 127) are no longer treated
as binary files
o lines can be of "infinite" length, but long lines (>10K) will slow down
search speed
o QUIETHIT can filter the matching lines out, so you only see which
files contain your search text
o use FILECOL and HITCOL to set your favourite colors
