I asked earilier in a thread I cannot find suggesting TCC needed something like LOCATE as part of a revamped CDD and DESCRIBE.

How do you search a database of filenames quickly given a regex or wildcard. The UNIX people do it.

The source code is posted at

Have you looked at Everything Search from Void Tools? I created a plugin based on the ES command line tool.

ES [switches] searchstring
-r Search the database using a basic POSIX regular expression.
-i Does a case sensitive search.
-w Does a whole word search.
-p Does a full path search.
-h --help Display this help.
-n <num> Limit the amount of results shown to <num>.
-s Sort by full path.
