I keep all of my data files on a separate logical drive. I indexed only that one. I'm going to try and figure a way to store the results of os.walk(root) as a shelve, and then search it that way. In the meantime, you might try the script we were playing with in the previous thread. It's from the Python Cookbook. It doesn't create a file for searching, but gets the job done. http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.python/browse_frm/thread/90e36791afbb90b8 I'm thinking there is a way to crossbreed this script with Adonis's for something lightning fast. I'll post it if I get free time to make it. rpd -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
