# FindPilot (CLI prototype)

Fast filename + content search across a directory tree. Working prototype
of the core search engine — see ../plan.md for the full product plan (a
persistent index, OCR index, and semantic/local-embeddings search are
still on the roadmap; this build is a live, unindexed scan).

## Build from source

Requires Go 1.24+, no external dependencies.

    go build -o findpilot .

Cross-compile for another platform:

    GOOS=windows GOARCH=amd64 go build -o findpilot.exe .
    GOOS=darwin  GOARCH=arm64 go build -o findpilot .

## Usage

    findpilot search <root> [--name GLOB] [--content PATTERN] [--regex] [--ignore-case] [--max N]

--name filters by filename glob (e.g. *.go). --content searches file
contents line-by-line (plain substring by default, or a regular
expression with --regex); binary files are skipped automatically. Both
filters combine: with both set, only files matching --name are searched
for --content.

## Prebuilt binaries

See ../downloads/ for prebuilt binaries (Windows/macOS/Linux) and
CHECKSUMS.txt for their SHA-256 hashes. These are unsigned indie builds —
Windows SmartScreen and macOS Gatekeeper will warn on first run, which is
expected until a code-signing certificate is in place (see the build
plan's risk section).
