Automatic Directory Listing Search
What is Automatic Directory Listing Search?
Automatic Directory Listing Search (ADLSearch) is a tool for searching of
file lists downloaded from users. Create a new ADLSearch entering 'avi' as
search string for example. When you download a directory listing from a
user, all avi-files will be placed in a special folder called
<<<ADLSearch>>>.
Columns
- Enabled / Search String
- This is the set of search strings to search for. The checkbox indicates
whether the search is active (box checked) or inactive (box unchecked).
- Source Type
One of following values:
- Filename
- Matches search against filename.
- Directory
- Matches against current subdirectory and places the whole structure in the
special folder.
- Full Path
- Matches against whole directory + filename.
- Destination Directory
- Sets the output folder for a search. Multiple folders with different names
can exist simultaneously. Each folder name gets wrapped in <<< and
>>>.
- Min Size

- Max Size
- Sets the upper limits for file size. This is unused for Directory searches.

Extra Features
- There is a new option in the context menu (right-click) for directory
listings. It is called 'Go to directory' and can be used to jump to the
original location of the file or directory in the filelist.
- If you use time formatting variables, they will be replaced
by today's date. If you use %[nick] it will be replaced by the nick of the
user you download the directory listing from.
- If you name a destination directory 'discard', it will not be shown in the
total result. Useful with the feature below to remove uninteresting results.
- There is a setting called Break on First ADLSearch
Match. If enabled, ADLSearch will stop after the first match for a
specific file/directory.The order in the ADLSearch windows is therefore
important. Example: Add a search item at the top of the list with
string='xxx' and destination='discard'. It will catch many pornographic
files and they will not be included in any following search results.
