Description:
Glimpse is a very powerful indexing and query system that allows
you to search through all your files very quickly. It can be used
by individuals for their personal file systems as well as by
organizations for large data collections. Glimpse is also the
basis of GlimpseHTTP, which provides search for web sites, and it
is the default search engine in Harvest (see below).
Glimpseindex, which you run by saying "glimpseindex DIR" builds
an index of all text files in the tree rooted at DIR. (e.g.,
glimpseindex ~ indexes all your files.) With it, glimpse can
search through all files much the same way as agrep (or any other
grep), except that you don't have to specify file names and the
search is fast.
