L'evoluzione del nostro tool di ricerca locale continua 😄(se ti sei perso le puntante precedenti puoi dare un occhio qui e qui).
In questa puntata vedremo come integrare la funzionalità di ricerca nel contenuto dei file 📝 (e non solo nel nome del file).
Obiettivo
L’obiettivo di questa evoluzione del tool è estendere la ricerca al contenuto del file in modo da individuare la parola chiave da ricercare non solo nel nome del file o delle cartelle ma anche all'interno del testo dei file.
Dobbiamo quindi dare all’utente la possibilità di scegliere come eseguire la ricerca:
-
Solo nel nome (file + cartelle) — comportamento attuale del tool realizzato nei precedenti articoli
-
Nel contenuto dei file — oltre alla ricerca nel nome, il programma deve aprire i file e cercare nel loro contenuto
L’estensione è completamente trasparente all’utente: basta inserire un nome e il programma cerca ovunque, in cartelle, file e contenuto dei file.

Esempio di Output
Choose search mode:
1) Search only in file/folder NAMES
2) Search also inside FILE CONTENTS
> 2
Searching...
📄 Found file: C:\Users\Example\Desktop\project.txt
📄 Found file: C:\Users\Example\Desktop\project.xlsx
📝 Found in content:C:\Users\Example\Desktop\MasterPlan.pptx
📁 Found folder: C:\Users\Example\Desktop\Project
Search completed in 5.237 seconds.
Would you like to open something?
1) Open a folder
2) Open a file
no) Continue to new search
> 2
=== FILES ===
1) 📄 C:\Users\Example\Desktop\project.txt
2) 📄 C:\Users\Example\Desktop\project.xlsx
3) 📄 C:\Users\Example\Desktop\MasterPlan.pptx
Choose a file number (or 'no'): 1
Opening: C:\Users\Example\Desktop\project.txt
🎉 Cosa fa ora il programma?
✔ Ricerca nei nomi dei file
✔ Ricerca nei nomi delle cartelle
✔ Opzionale: ricerca anche nel contenuto dei file
✔ Mostra liste separate:
📁 cartelle che matchano direttamente
🗂 cartelle che contengono file trovati
✔ Evita duplicati
✔ Mantiene tutte le funzionalità di apertura cartelle
✔ Evita errori su file binari o troppo grandi
Conclusione
Grazie a questa nuova feature, il tool ora è in grado di fare ricerche a 360° — un pò come faremmo con Windows ma in maniera molto pià veloce.
Buona ricerca 🔎!
