## Installation
```shell
yarn install findy -g
```
## Search Examples
### Find All Local
Find all files in the current directory containing the word `yarn` anywhere in the name:
```shell
findy '*yarn*'
```
### Find By Extension
Find all `.env` and `.log` files in the current directory:
```shell
findy '*.env' '*.log'
```
### Find Recursive
Find all `.env` files recursively:
```shell
findy '**/*.env'
```
### Negation
**Important:** negation requires the use of single-quotes around the search phrase, unless used in an array (see: negative in array).
Find all Markdown files recursively, that are **not** named `README.md`:
```shell
findy '**/*.md' '!**/README.md'
```
### Searching with Sudo
Searching through some files and directories may require elevated permission. Where you see: 'Unhandled rejection Error: EACCES: permission denied', you can use `sudo`.
Seach for files with elevated permission:
```shell
sudo findy '**/*.md'
```
### Current Dir
**Important:** Findy will still search recursively, but will only show results that match the current directory.
Find any `README.md` file in the current directory:
```shell
findy 'README.md'
```
### Containing Word Recursive
To recusively find any `.txt` file containing the the word `notes`:
```shell
findy '**/*notes*.txt'
```
### Starting with word
To recusrively find any file starting with the the word `notes`:
```shell
findy '**/notes*'
```
### Ending with word
To recusrively find any file ending with the the word `notes`:
```shell
findy '**/*notes.*'
```
### Find This-or-That
To find a Markdown file containing either `notes` or `tasks`:
```shell
findy '**/*{notes,tasks}*.md'
```
### Negative In Array
To find a anything in the current directory, with `foo` but **not** `bar`:
```shell
findy '*{foo,!bar}*'
```
