Spotlight is an
Offline Search Tool which enables you to get the
files stored in Spotlight Index, instantly, as you type a query string.
There are 2 basic Spotlight window sections:
1)
Query (Edit) box, where you type a search string, and
2)
Files box where you browse the found files.
Go from Query box to Files box by using "Down" key.
Go back to query box using Ctrl+L, if you want to keep the results visible, or by using ESC you close the Files box. Second ESC will send Spotlight to background. Set Global hotkey so you can easily bring Spotlight forth and back.
In Query box you can edit string, select all (Ctrl+A), copy, paste, insert special char (Shift+Ctrl+C), etc...
In Files box you can manage selected file. Ctrl+G will jump to folder in System screen where the selected file is placed. Using SPACE you can Quick View various file types:
Text, OPL source, compiled OPL (OPO, APP, OPM,...), Epoc Word, MBM, AIF, Sketch and ZIP/PAC archives. Additionaly, you can get Hex view (Ctrl+H) of any file.
There are 2 basic search modes:
1)
"Exclusive" - get only files which contain the search string.
2)
"Inclusive" - get also files in folders whose path contains the search string.
"Inclusive" mode is automatically set when query string contains "\" or ":" sign.
Wildcards ("*","?") are allowed and for easier typing you can use SPACE instead of asterisk ("*"), like this: "opl test" instead of "opl*test".
Spotlight is
extremely fast, due to special search engine, so you can safely set instant search to 1 char in "Settings", although 3-4 chars is more reasonable. It will usually take only few seconds to update Index with about 7-8 thousand files.
The
idea and initial concept of this application came from my friend
OSG, who, being too busy himself, pushed me brutally into another OPL adventure ;-)
