Search easily on local or remote files

Welcome to SSearch Everywhere!

SSearcH Everywhere is a simple and useful application that will make the search of text in remote files easy and fun.

As you got it from the name, the connections to remote files are done through SSH, and The actual search are normal greps with or without regex

SSearcH stores all its information in the folder ~/.ssearch-everywhere

there you can find the following main folders:

searchable-files
search-params
results
In case you want to back up data, just save the folder(s) you want to backup in another location

If instead you want to complete reset data, just remove the ~/.ssearch-everywhere folder entirely and restart the app.

To run the application you need Java (version less than 8):

java -jar SSearcH-Everywhere.jar

Then open SSearcH Everywhere here

There are several arguments you can pass to customize how the application runs, using name=value syntax:

context, the context name; if not specified it defaults to "" (the "root" context)
host, the host name; if not specified it defaults to "localhost"
port, the HTTP port; if not specified it defaults to 8080
