Start\n\n```bash\n# First run: Auto-creates config.json from defaults (uses threading by default)\n./zip_scanner.py --scan\n\n# Compare threading vs sequential performance\n./zip_scanner.py --scan --compare-threaded\n\n# Search for files with \"vacation\" in the name\n./zip_scanner.py --search \"vacation\"\n\n# List all indexed files\n./zip_scanner.py --list-videos\n\n# Find all .txt files in ZIP archives\n./zip_scanner.py --search \".txt\" --file-types txt --all-files\n```\n\n### Threading Performance\n\nPySearchZips now uses **multi-threaded scanning by default** for significant performance improvements:\n\n#### Default Threaded Mode (Recommended)\n```bash\n./zip_scanner.py --scan\n```\n- **True parallelism**: One thread per drive\n- **2-5x speedup** depending on number of drives\n- **No database bottlenecks**: Each thread uses separate database\n- **Automatic merging**: All results consolidated into single database\n\n#### Performance Comparison\n```bash\n./zip_scanner.py --scan --compare-threaded\n```\n- Runs both sequential and threaded scans\n- Shows exact timing comparison and speedup\n- Uses temporary databases to avoid conflicts\n- Perfect for benchmarking your system\n\n#### Force Sequential Mode  \n```bash\n./zip_scanner.py --scan --sequential\n```\n- Uses legacy sequential processing (one drive at a time)\n- Useful for debugging or low-memory systems\n- Identical results to threaded mode\n\n#### Threading Performance Tests\n```bash\n# Quick simulated performance test\n./zip_scanner.py --test-threading quick\n\n# Comprehensive test with multiple scenarios\n./zip_scanner.py --test-threading comprehensive\n\n# Stress test with multiple iterations\n./zip_scanner.py --test-threading stress\n```\n\n### Scanning Modes\n\n#### GoogleTakeout Mode (Default)\n```bash\n./zip_scanner.py --scan\n```\n- Scans GoogleTakeout folders in root directories of all drives\n- Fast, focused scanning for Google Takeout archives\n- Uses threading by default for maximum speed\n- Stores results in `zip_files.db`\n\n#### All-ZIP Mode  \n```bash  \n./zip_scanner.py --scan --no-google-takeout\n```\n- Comprehensive scan of ALL ZIP files across ALL drives\n- **Warning**: Significantly longer scan time\n- Benefits most from threading on multi-drive systems\n- Useful for complete archive inventories\n\n#### All File Types\n```bash\n./zip_scanner.py --scan --all-files --no-google-takeout\n```\n- Scans ALL file types in ZIP archives (not just videos)\n- Perfect for document archives, code repositories, etc.\n- Threading provides excellent speedup for large archives\n\n### Advanced Searching\n\n```bash\n# Simple text search\n./zip_scanner.py --search \"vacation\"\n\n# Regex search  \n./zip_scanner.py --search \"IMG_\\d{4}\\.mp4\" --regex\n\n# Size-based filtering (files \u003e 100MB)\n./zip_scanner.py --search \".*\" --regex --min-size 104857600\n\n# Search specific file types\n./zip_scanner.py --search \"document\" --file-types pdf docx txt --all-files\n\n```\n\n### Database Operations\n\n```bash\n# View database statistics\n./zip_scanner.py --stats\n\n# List all files in database\n./zip_scanner.py --list-videos\n\n# List first 50 files only\n./zip_scanner.py --list-videos --limit 50\n```\n\n### File Extraction\n\n```bash\n# Extract a specific file by name\n./zip_scanner.py --extract \"Go Game\"\n\n# Extract with custom output directory  \n./zip_scanner.py --extract \"Chess\" --output-dir \"/home/user/videos\"\n\n# List ZIP archives to find UUIDs\n./zip_scanner.py --list-zips --limit 10\n\n# Extract all files from a specific ZIP by UUID\n./zip_scanner.py --extract-uuid \"a1b2c3d4-e5f6-7890-abcd-ef1234567890\"\n\n# Extract specific files from ZIP by UUID with filter\n./zip_scanner.py --extract-uuid \"a1b2c3d4-e5f6-7890-abcd-ef1234567890\" --file-filter \"2023\"\n\n# Extract ALL files from ALL ZIP archives (WARNING: Large operation!)\n./zip_scanner.py --extract-all --output-dir \"/backup/extracted\"\n```\n\n### Custom database location\n\n```bash\n./zip_scanner.py --database /path/to/custom.db --scan\n```\n\n### Advanced features\n\n#### Configuration Management\n```bash\n# First run automatically creates config.json from defaults\n./zip_scanner.py --scan\n\n# Edit your local configuration (gitignored)\nnano config.json\n\n# Use automatically (no --config flag needed)\n./zip_scanner.py --scan\n\n# Use specific config file\n./zip_scanner.py --config high_performance.json --scan\n```\n\n#### Find duplicate videos\n```bash\n# Find videos with identical content (based on file hash)\n./zip_scanner.py --find-duplicates\n```\n\n#### Export search results\n```bash\n# Search and export results to CSV\n./zip_scanner.py --search \"vacation\" --export-csv results.csv\n```\n\n#### Database validation\n```bash\n# Check database integrity and find missing files\n./zip_scanner.py --validate-db\n```\n\n#### Quiet and dry-run modes\n```bash\n# Preview what would be scanned without actually scanning\n./zip_scanner.py --scan --dry-run\n\n# Run in quiet mode with minimal

Setup\nOn first run, the tool automatically copies `config_default.json` to `config.json` for local customization:\n\n```bash\n# First run automatically creates config.json\n./zip_scanner.py --scan\n```\n\n### Configuration Options\n\nThe `config.json` file contains the following configurable sections:\n\n#### Performance Settings\n- `max_workers`: Number of parallel scanning threads (default: 4)\n- `batch_size`: Database batch insertion size for performance (default: 1000)\n- `memory_limit`: Maximum memory usage in bytes\n- `progress_update_interval`: Progress display update frequency in seconds\n\n#### Scanning Behavior\n- `video_extensions`: List of video file extensions to scan\n- `excluded_directories`: Directory patterns to skip during scanning\n- `excluded_drives`: Specific drive letters or mount points to exclude\n- `follow_symlinks`: Whether to follow symbolic links (default: false)\n\n#### Search Settings\n- `case_sensitive`: Default case sensitivity for searches (default: false)\n- `regex_enabled`: Enable regex support by default (default: false)\n\n### Using Custom Configuration\n\n```bash\n# Use the automatically created config.json (recommended)\n./zip_scanner.py --scan\n\n# Use a specific config file\n./zip_scanner.py --config high_performance.json --scan\n\n# Edit your local configuration\nnano config.json\n```\n\n### Example Configuration Structure\n```json\n{\n  \"performance\": {\n    \"max_workers\": 6,\n    \"batch_size\": 2000\n  },\n  \"scanning\": {\n    \"excluded_directories\": [\"System Volume Information\", \"$RECYCLE.BIN\"],\n    \"video_extensions\": [\".mp4\", \".avi\", \".mov\"]\n  }\n}\n```\n\n## Performance\n\n### Threading Benefits\n\nPySearchZips achieves significant performance improvements through multi-threaded scanning:\n\n| System Configuration | Sequential Time | Threaded Time | Speedup |\n|---------------------|-----------------|---------------|---------|\n| 2 drives, medium load | 6.2s | 3.8s | **1.6x** |\n| 4 drives, medium load | 12.4s | 3.9s | **3.2x** |\n| 6 drives, heavy load | 18.7s | 4.2s | **4.5x** |\n\n### Key Performance Features\n\n- **True Parallelism**: One thread per drive eliminates sequential bottlenecks\n- **No Database Locking**: Each thread writes to separate database file\n- **Efficient Merging**: Fast database consolidation with progress feedback\n- **Memory Efficient**: No increase in memory usage despite threading\n- **Automatic Scaling**: Performance scales with number of drives\n\n### Real-World Performance Example\n\n```bash\n# Test your system's performance\n./zip_scanner.py --scan --compare-threaded\n```\n\n**Sample Output:**\n```\nPERFORMANCE COMPARISON RESULTS\n   Sequential time: 9.0s\n   Threaded time: 2.0s  \n   Speedup: 4.5x\n   ✓ Threading provides significant performance improvement!\n```\n\n### When Threading Helps Most\n\n- **Multiple drives**: More drives = better speedup\n- **Network storage**: Parallel access to different network drives\n- **Mixed storage speeds**: Fast and slow drives processed simultaneously\n- **Large archives**: Multi-GB ZIP files benefit from parallel processing\n\n## Database Schema\n\nThe tool creates several tables for enhanced functionality:\n\n- `zip_files`: Stores ZIP archive metadata including file paths, hashes, and modification dates\n- `file_contents`: Stores video file metadata with hashing for duplicate detection\n- `scan_progress`: Tracks scan progress for resume capability (future feature)  \n- `scan_metrics`: Stores scanning statistics and performance metrics\n\n### Threading Database Architecture\n\nDuring threaded scanning:\n1. **Thread databases**: Each thread creates `database.thread_N_drive.tmp`\n2. **Parallel writes**: No locking conflicts between threads\n3. **Automatic merge**: All thread databases merged into main database\n4. **Cleanup**: Temporary files automatically removed after merge\n\n## Platform Support\n\n- **Windows**: Scans all available drive letters (C:, D:, etc.)\n- **Linux/macOS**: Scans root filesystem and common mount points (/mnt, /media)\n- **WSL**: Automatically detects and scans Windows drives mounted at /mnt/c, /mnt/d, etc.\n\n## Output\n\nThe tool provides colored terminal output with:\n- Real-time progress bars for each drive\n- Statistics on folders scanned and files found\n- Before/after database comparisons\n- Detailed search results with file locations and sizes\n\n## Testing\n\n### **Comprehensive Test Suite**\n\nThe refactored architecture includes a comprehensive testing framework with 12 test scenarios:\n\n```bash\n# Run all tests\npython3 comprehensive_tests.py\n\n# Run with verbose output  \npython3 comprehensive_tests.py -v\n```\n\n#### **Test Categories**\n\n1. **Architecture
