I built that! Using File::find. It integrates with cvsweb (both ways: from cvsweb you can link to the search functionality, allowing searches starting in a certain directory, and from the search you get linked to the file in cvsweb) It also does: - content searches in RCS files or the latest revision (look for 'readme.*' files containing 'Known Bug') - regexes or just strings for the content match; - filename selection using wildcards patterns (*.cpp) or regexes - case sensitivity or not for both match types - selection based on edit status (watch on/off ; edited files) - selection based on file type (-kb -> binary ) and combinations of the above. However: - Due to the nature of it (blunt filesytem search) , it is a resource eater. Maintainers on public repositories may not want it installed! - I did not include taint checking (have only friendly users here). Thay may even be complex, due to the user-specified regexes. I do not think it should be integrated *in* CVSWEB since that is already complex enough: just integrate *with* cvswevb: crosslinks in both directions Anyhow, enough blabla: should I post it? Paul
