Abstract

Search files or text string inside a various type of file with regex support.

It supports extensive use of shortcuts to navigate in every aspect of
interface without the need to leave the keyboard.

Root folder input box so as comboboxes use auto-completer for typing.

The combobox extension list allows multiple selection.

For more details see What DeepSearch5Plus does] section.

If someone needs to extend or add a category of file type please send me the
extension list and the category it should belong to. I will add it in the
next release.

If there are suggestions how to improve it or some tools that one would like
to find in this app don't hesitate to tell me I will be very glad to add it.

I don't have added language translation yet but if someone needs it please
let me know.

Some tips and triks

The following is a list of special character in easy search mode

The '\b' means white-space

• To search exactly a keyword like 'home' put '\b' before and after such
  word in this way '\bhome\b'. It is also possible to use just '\b' in one of
  its ends to find 'home' in '\bhomecoming' and '\bhomepage' or '\b'
  at the end to find 'age' in 'hostage\b'.
  

The ';' means and/or equivalent to '|' in regex flavour

• To search 'dog', and/or 'cat' in a file name just type 'dog;cat'.
  Of course you can combine '\b' and ';' together like in '\bdog\b;\bcat\b'
  or search for words with some extensions like in '\bdog\b .txt;\bcat\b .pdf'
  and it search for all files that contain 'dog' with
  extension '.txt' and/or 'cat' and '.pdf' as extension.
  

Use of '*' and '?'

• The '*' means zero or any number of characters also [dot, white-space,
  hyphen] etc. For instance let's put you want to find all files in a folder
  so that you can print it out on a pdf to send to a colleague or a friend just
  type '*'. This is also usuful when you select a file category from the
  dedicated combobox in order to find for example all your video files or audio files collection.
  
• The '?' means just one or zero character. let's take we do not remember
  how a word is written. Let's suppose for example you are not sure if
  'commotion' has one 'm' or two 'mm' then we can type 'com?otion' and the
  app find both 'comotion' and 'commotion'.
  

Last thing to try is find two word inside a file name or string text

• Imagine we have to find what our good dog is doing under a tree in
  
  'the dog is sleeping under a tree' we can type 'dog tree' to find out.
  
  We can also search for part of a keyword to find out who is sleeping under the
  tree like so 'sleep tree' to find 'the dog is sleeping under a tree'.
