Description mikepolniak 2002-02-09 21:22:47 UTC
Glimpse  (which  stands  for  GLobal IMPlicit SEarch) is a UNIX indexing 
and query  system  that  allows you to search through a large set of 
files very quickly.If the search pattern is reasonably uncommon,then
all matches will be reported in a few seconds even if the indexed files
total 500MB or more. 

Glimpse supports most of agrep's options (agrep is our powerful version
of grep) including approximate matching (e.g.,finding misspelled  words),  
Boolean  queries,and even some limited forms of regular expressions.  
It is used in the same way,except that you don't have to specify file names.

So, if you are looking for a needle anywhere in your file system, all you
have to do is say  #glimpse needle and all lines containing needle will
appear preceded by the file name.

To use glimpse you first need to index your files with glimpseindex.
For example,  #glimpseindex -o ~  will index everything at or below your
home directory.See  man glimpseindex for more details.
