Better name #104

Why is the program called httm? Is that an acronym? If so, what does it stand for? This isn't currently explained in the README.

httm is totally unmemorable IMO and I'd expect it would be a http tool of some sort like a webserver, if I had to guess from its name. I always prefer it when programs have names that represent what they do so how about changing the program name to something more memorable and descriptive like snapfind or snapsearch? I think it would help with adoption.

Thanks

Perhaps it's a generational thing? And I do believe I reference it in the README.

I appreciate your good intentions in suggesting a new name.

But -- ugh, gross. No. httm is an awesome name.
