Carl, this sounds like a very useful update to u2. I think for most of us, having an indexing utility for filenames is good enough; usually, for finding content, a non-indexing utility is good enough.
I would be interested in learning more about fuzzy searching. We are all getting used, through Google, to searching more sloppily. Surely, by now, Google's successful approach must have been analyzed and described? Are there find-content utilities available that take advantage of Google-like fuzzy searching? Are there even better techniques than Google's?

It comes with a command-line version, LOCATE.EXE, which makes a perfect fit with XyWrite. The next release of U2 has a frame, LOCATE, which provides a seamless interface between LOCATE.EXE and the Xy Cmline: You enter LOCATE [string]<Helpkey> (where "[string]" is a bit of the desired filename), and the search results are imported directly -- and at lightning speed -- into XyWrite. (The key to LOCATE[32]'s speed is its filename database, which should be updated daily as an automated task.) Also not to be ignored is FINDSTR.EXE, the built-in Win32 grep utility. There's a U2 frame, GREP, which uses FINDSTR to provide GREP functionality from the CMline -- also in the forthcoming release of U2. -- Carl Distefano cld@xxxxxxxxxx
