It uses firefox only. I will include konqueror in the next update.

Assign it a global shorcut.

List::Search is a Perl module for fast searching of sorted lists.

SYNOPSIS

use List::Search qw( list_search nlist_search custom_list_search );

# Create a list to search
my @list = sort qw( bravo charlie delta );

# Search for a value, returns the index of first match
print list_search( alpha, @list ); # 0
print list_search( charlie, @list ); # 1
print list_search( zebra, @list ); # -1

# Search numerically
my @numbers = sort { $a $b } ( 10, 20, 100, 200, );
print nlist_search( 20, @numbers ); # 2

# Search using some other comparison
my $cmp_code = sub { lc( $_[0] ) cmp lc( $_[1] ) };
my @custom_list = sort { $cmp_code->( $a, $b ) } qw( FOO bar BAZ bundy );
print list_search_generic( $cmp_code, foo, @custom_list );

This module lets you quickly search a sorted list. It will return the index of the first entry that matches, or if there is no exact matches then the first entry that is greater than the search key.

For example in the list my @list = qw( bob dave fred ); searching for dave will return 1 as $list[1] eq dave. Searching for charles will also return 1 as dave is the first entry that is greater than charles.

If there are none of the entries match then -1 is returned. You can either check for this or use it as an index to get the last values in the list. Whichever approach you choose will depend on what you are trying to do.

The actual searching is done using a binary search which is very fast.

Chestnut FTP Search is a web application to search for files on FTP servers. Files can by searched only by file/directory names, nor be file contents. Users can query files by part of the file name, the entire file name, a regular expression, or a shell pattern.
The program is written in Python using web.py framework. To store file indexes PostgreSQL or MySQL is use.
Main features:
- Four search modes: partial match, exact match, regular expression, shell pattern. Every mode can by case sensitive or case insensitive
- Character set can by specified for particular server to allow non ASCII file names.
- Multi-threaded indexer
- i18n support

Fast File Search is a crawler for FTP servers and SMB shares that can be found on Windows or UNIX systems running Samba.
It provides a web interface for searching files. It is optimized for searching files by a wildcard when there are some normal (not * or ?) chars specified in the beginning or in the end of the mask (for example *.iso).
Fast File Search crawler runs on UNIX (currently only Linux has been tested but I do not now any reasons why it should not work on other UNIXes). Fast File Search uses MySQL database, web interface needs a web server with PHP >= 4.0.3 and the crawler needs some perl modules.
The crawler (ffsearch.pl) crawls the network (FTP servers from the list and all reachable SMB hosts on the local network) and stores the information about files into database. It is invoked at certain times each day via crontab entries.
There are two modes of operation of the crawler: complete crawl and incremental crawl. The crawler expects a command line argument that tells crawler which mode to run (-c or --complete for complete crawl, -i or --incremental for incremental crawl). Both modes retrieve a list of the active SMB hosts in all workgroups.
The complete crawl tries to scan all active hosts and all hosts that are listed in database. The complete crawl should be run once a day.
The incremental crawl tries to scan active hosts and hosts listed in database that have not been scanned since the last complete crawl because they were unreachable. The incremental crawl should be run several times a day, for example each 3 hours.
How does the crawler get know whether the host has been crawled since the last complete crawl?
Each time the complete crawl is executed, the expire count is incremented first. When the host is crawled, expire count is set to zero. So all hosts whose expire count > 0 were not reachable since the last complete crawl. Moreover, when expire count reaches value specified in configuration (i.e. it was unreachable during the time period of complete crawls) the information about files on the "expired" host is deleted from database.
Web interface is used to search the files in database, details how to search are described in the Help section of the search page.
You can also add a FTP server to a FTP server list, edit FTP server in the list or delete FTP server from the list through the web interface. So that anybody could not do anything with the server list only the record about abcdef is editable from host abcdef. There are also admins who can edit all records in the server list. The admins login through the web interface.
Enhancements:
- fixed few bugs in the crawler
- added a possibility to exclude some SMB shares
- www: improved Russian and Ukrainian translation
