@KirollosNasr Review last commit.

KirollosNasr commented 5 years ago

the searching algorithm used runs pretty well, but because it use find command, it can take a while. as it scan the whole system at real time. I think we can use locate command for better performance. Also the way of search seems to be repetitive.it can be reduced.

@KirollosNasr Ok very well.

I uploaded locating.py script

I'll upload a new version of searching search.py

KirollosNasr commented 5 years ago

I uploaded the new version of searching That focuses on performance as well. It has two different implementations, one for real time scanning using find command And the other uses locate command with an option to update its database
