📦 Usage

Please report any problems you encounter when using rust search here: Issues

Add rust_search = "2.0.0" in Cargo.toml.

[dependencies]
rust_search = "2.0.0"

Examples

• General use

use rust_search::SearchBuilder;

fn main(){
    let search: Vec<String> = SearchBuilder::default()
        .location("~/path/to/directory")
        .search_input("what to search")
        .more_locations(vec!["/anotherPath/to/search", "/keepAddingIfYouWant/"])
        .limit(1000) // results to return
        .ext("extension")
        .strict()
        .depth(1)
        .ignore_case()
        .hidden()
        .build()
        .collect();

    for path in search {
        println!("{}", path);
    }
}

• Sort the output by similarity with the input

 use rust_search::{SearchBuilder, similarity_sort};
 fn main() {
     let search_input = "fly";
     let mut search: Vec<String> = SearchBuilder::default()
         .location("~/Desktop/")
         .search_input(search_input)
         .depth(1)
         .ignore_case()
         .build()
        .collect();

     similarity_sort(&mut search, &search_input);
     for path in search {
        println!("{:?}", path);
     }
 }
 

search without similarity sort ["afly.txt", "bfly.txt", "flyer.txt", "fly.txt"]

search with similarity sort ["fly.txt", "flyer.txt", "afly.txt", "bfly.txt",]

• To get all the files with a specific extension in a directory, use:

use rust_search::SearchBuilder;

let files: Vec<String> = SearchBuilder::default()
    .location("/path/to/directory")
    .ext("file_extension")
    .build()
    .collect();

• To get all the files in a directory, use:

use rust_search::SearchBuilder;

let files: Vec<String> = SearchBuilder::default()
    .location("/path/to/directory")
    .depth(1)
    .build()
    .collect();

To filter files by date_created, date_modified, file_size and/or custom_filter, use:

use rust_search::{FileSize, FilterExt, SearchBuilder};
use std::time::{Duration, SystemTime};

let search: Vec<String> = SearchBuilder::default()
		.location("~/path/to/directory")
		.file_size_greater(FileSize::Kilobyte(200.0))
		.file_size_smaller(FileSize::Megabyte(10.0))
		.created_after(SystemTime::now() - Duration::from_secs(3600 * 24 * 10))
		.created_before(SystemTime::now())
		.modified_after(SystemTime::now() - Duration::from_secs(3600 * 24 * 5))
		.custom_filter(|dir| dir.metadata().unwrap().is_file())
		.custom_filter(|dir| !dir.metadata().unwrap().permissions().readonly())
		.build()
		.collect();

⚙️ Benchmarks

The difference in sample size is due to the fact that fd and glob are different tools and have different use cases. fd is a command line tool that searches for files and directories. glob is a library that can be used to search for files and directories. The benchmark is done on a MacBook Air M2, 16 GB Unified memory.

Benchmarks are done using hyperfine, Benchmarks files are available in the benchmarks drive folder.

- Rust Search vs Glob

The benchmark was done on a directories containing 300K files.

- Rust Search vs FD

The benchmark was done on a directories containing 45K files.

Results:-

+ rust_search is 17.25 times faster than Glob.

+ rust_search** is 1.09 times faster than FD.
