- OVERVIEW
-
- SeekEasy is an easy-to-use "FUZZY-LOGIC" text-finding program. It scans
- your disk files, finding text that even APPROXIMATELY matches what you
- asked for, and displays what it finds in "best-matches-shown-first" order.
- It neatly solves those "I KNOW it's in here SOMEWHERE!..." situations.
-
- With SeekEasy, you don't have to remember the exact wording or spelling of
- the text in the file you're trying to find. If your requested text is
- even CLOSE, SeekEasy will find the file! For example, if a file somewhere
- on your disk holds the text "...THE TRUNK OF THE ELEPHANT IS...", SeekEasy
- can find it even if your request is for "EPHALANT'S TRUNQ."
-
- Typical applications: finding all your source code files - perhaps
- created over many years - that reference a function name you now wish to
- change; finding the filename of a year-old letter to your Uncle Mort when
- you don't remember exactly the name you used in the letter; etc.
-
- SeekEasy can search through one file, or up to all the files on an entire
- drive. Matched text is displayed along with its file name. The "probable
- match" words are highlighted, and twelve lines of the file around the
- matched words shown for context. The display window may be scrolled
- forward and backward through the file to show more surrounding text.
-
- SeekEasy will scan ALL file types - word-processor, database, even ".COM"
- and ".EXE" files if desired. It can be told which filenames or filetypes
- to ignore and/or to always include in the search. It has many default
- settings of this type that are user-customizable through simple menus.
-
- Please note: SeekEasy will FIND text, but it won't ALTER it - you must use
- the appropriate word processor, database program, etc. for that.
-
-
- SOME DETAILED FEATURES OF SEEKEASY
-
- - It will handle files of any length. It displays 12 lines of a file on
- the screen at once, and you can scroll the 12-line window through the
- entire file if you wish, a line or a screen at a time.
-
- - If so instructed, it will search one file, all the files in a directory,
- a directory and all its "child" directories, or a whole drive's worth
- of files. It will also search through specific files on a list,
- and/or skip files on another list you can set up within SeekEasy.
-
- For example, SeekEasy can be set to automatically search, say,
- "REFERENC.TXT," plus all "*.LST" files, while skipping over a
- particular file named "BIGFILE.LST". And these choices can be saved
- as the "default" mode of operation.
-
-
-
-
-
-
- - SeekEasy will search floppy disks, hard disks, Bernoulli-Box drives,
- etc.
-
- - At the end of a search, SeekEasy shows you the items it found in "best-
- matches-first" order - the highest-scoring (as evaluated by its fuzzy-
- logic matching algorithms) block of text is shown first, then the
- next-highest-scoring, etc.
-
- - You can mark blocks of text that SeekEasy has found, then send the
- blocks of text out to a printer or a disk file, for reviewing later.
-
- - SeekEasy is highly customizable. Defaults can be set specifying the
- files to search, search mode, turning beeps on or off, printer port to
- use, screen colors, etc., etc. - all through simple menu choices.
-
- - SeekEasy does not use up valuable disk space with index files, as do
- cross-referencing programs.
-
- - Wherever it makes sense, each screen in SeekEasy has one or more pages
- of Help Screens behind it, available at the press of the F1 key.
-
-
- SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
-
- SeekEasy runs on virtually any IBM PC or clone. All it needs is MS-DOS
- 2.0 or higher, 256K of RAM, any color or monochrome display, and a serial
- or parallel printer port if you wish to make printouts.
-
- SeekEasy also runs under Windows 3.0, and a "SEEKEASY.PIF" file is
- included on the disk to enhance its operation under Windows.
