Show HN: Go package for fast concurrent text search across files and folders

4 months ago 3

A go package to do extremely fast concurrent text search across files and folders.

Search for text recursively taking advantage of concurrency via GO routines. Import the project has a package and plugin the search functionality or use it as a command line application. Features options to ignore filetypes and directories during search.

Use the file search logic and plug it in to existing codebases.

import "github.com/raiyanyahya/fast-text-search/fts" var ( SearchString string // String to search for [mandatory] FileName string // Explicitly mention the filename to look in. ExtensionType string // Only search files with these extensions. IgnoreFolders []string // Exclude these directories while searching. IgnoreExt []string // Do not open files with these extensions while searching. SearchDirectory string // The starting search directory. ) func main(){ hits := fts.FTS(searchString, SearchDirectory, IgnoreExt, IgnoreFolders, FileName, ExtensionType) }

You could also use this directly from the command line.

FTS is a free for open-source projects, however, if you are using the library for business and commercial projects you could choose to buy me a coffee.
