Description: # search-fs
        
        A simple python utility that indexes directory and file names in a sqlite database to allow for fast searching.
        
        Definitely check out [locate](http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man1/locate.1.html) before considering this tool.
        
        ## Installation
        
        ```shell script
        pip install search-fs
        ```
        
        ## Usage
        
        ```shell script
        create-search-fs --help
        search-fs --help
        ```
        
        ### Create the database
        
        ```shell script
        create-search-fs dir1/ dir2/
        ```
        
        ### Search
        
        Search anywhere for JPG files
        ```shell script
        search-fs --name '*.jpg'
        ```
        
        Search just one directory tree for JPG files
        ```shell script
        search-fs --name '*.jpg' dir1/
        ```
        
        Search just one directory and not any of the sub directories for JPG files
        ```shell script
        search-fs --name '*.jpg' dir1/ --strict-dir
        ```
        
        Search for directories
        ```shell script
        search-fs --name 'Directory*' --type d
        ```
        
        Search for files by size
        ```shell script
        search-fs --size '500M' #Files larger than 500MB
        search-fs --size='-10M' #Files smaller than 10MB, Note: make sure you use use '--size=' for less than
        ```
        
        ### Cron
        
        You can setup a cronjob to run `create-search-fs` so that the index is up to date.
        
        Create `dirs.txt` which contains the directories to index
        
        ```
        #Lines starting with # are ignored
        /path/dir1
        /other/dir2
        ```
        
        Add line with `crontab -e` to update the index every hour
        
        ```shell script
        0 * * * * /usr/local/bin/create-search-fs --dirs /path/to/dirs.txt
        ```
