What is Hunt & Gather?

Hunt and Gather are two utilities for indexing and then searching files within a drive or directory designed to speed up searching files. The Gather utility is meant to index any path and generate a search database. The Hunt utility will then open the database generated by Gather and look for files matching the string provided to Hunt as parameter.

Hunt & Gather can be seen as an implementation of file indexing services on Amiga OS with the tradeoff between slow indexing yet ulterior linear time complexity file searches. Contrasted to its Windows counterpart, Hunt & Gather does indeed find files much faster than Windows does and at a fraction of resource costs!

Features:

  • constant memory usage, meaning that Hunt & Gather can be used on any Amiga regardless the amount of installed memory,
  • very fast lookup of files due to indexing,
  • programmed using Amiga OS-compliant primitives
