Searching system for searching files stored in a hard disk of a personal computer

摘要

A searching system which can quickly search the filenames and file paths of certain desired files stored in a hard disk of a personal computer. The personal computer comprises a memory for storing programs and data and a processor for executing the programs stored in the memory. The searching system comprises a filename file stored in the memory for recording filenames of all the files and directories stored in the hard disk, an index file stored in the memory for recording file paths of the files and directories stored in the filename file, and a search program stored in the memory for searching the filenames stored in the filename file according to certain user specified search parameters to generate an output and then generating the file paths of the files contained in the output by using the index file. The filename and index files are maintained in the memory of the personal computer so that searching speeds for searching files stored in the hard disk can be substantially reduced.
