Is it possible that you index the entire path and then have an option to search in the path without looking at the word order and without the slashes.

For example I have the file test.txt in my documents and in program files. Say I want the program files version, then I type test.txt - it finds multiple entries - so after test.txt I type program and it finds the program files entry.

This would speed up thinks enourmously.

So is something like this possible?

    Interesting idea. I'll have to mull it over.

    Thanks,

    I want this, too. The problem is how to do it while keeping the program fast and the index reasonably small. Perhaps there are existing indexing services that expose APIs that could be used.
