For example, finding 296 lines containing 'whitehouse' in 8750 files occupying 104MB took 6 seconds on a SUN Sparc 5. Glimpse supports most of agrep's options (agrep is our powerful version of grep) including approximate matching (e.g., finding mis- spelled words), Boolean queries, and even some limited forms of regular expressions. It is used in the same way, except that you don't have to specify file names. So, if you are looking for a needle anywhere in your file system, all you have to do is say glimpse needle and all lines containing needle will appear preceded by the file name. --------------------------------------------------- Glimpse works beautifully for indexing large amounts ot text.
