Introduction
1.42 (May 14, 2006)
Perl File Indexer is a tool which can index a specified set of files on the disk, a set which you can then search using incremental search. Once selected, the system default application is launched to open them. The ideea is that of Google Desktop search, or Yahoo Desktop search - however those are much more complicated - scanning through all the email, the web pages history, and so on. This tool is simpler, it just indexes the given file names.
