openfts.sf.net is tool for you. It has even example scripts for indexing/searching file system. Oleg On Sat, 27 Oct 2007, Matthew Wilson wrote:
I have a lot of code -- millions of lines at this point, written over the last 5 years. Everything is in a bunch of nested folders. At least once a week, I want to find some code that uses a few modules, so I have to launch a find + grep at the top of the tree and then wait for it to finish. I wonder if I could store our source code in a postgresql table and then use full text searching to index. Then I hope I could run a query where I ask for all files that use modules X, Y, and Z. I'm looking for something sort of like the locate utility, except that instead of building a quickly-searchable list of file names, I want to be able to search file contents also.
