This package contain two files (excluding this readme file). For easy usage
from within Thor install the arexx script - read on..

SearchTHOR
------------------
             Binary file that can be used on its own, but doesn't buffer the
             search since it's made specially for Thor usage (messages
             doesn't tend to grow larger than available memory). The search
             is NOT case sensitive so you don't have to care about case on
             letters.

                USAGE: SearchTHOR <file> "sentence with several words"

             Program is written in assembler for speed and size.

SearchMessage.thor
------------------
             Invokes the above program for you (SearchTHOR must be
             placed in C: or else this arexx script won't work!). It
             prompts you for a search string in Thor and gives you the
             result in a requester also from inside of Thor.

You should install the SearchMessage.thor script in Thor:rexx/ and assign it
to a function button. Hit the button, type text to search and you get the
result before you can blink ;)

Program must be considered beta since I haven't tested it under every
condition, but it should prompt error if functions fails (file not found,
empty file, search text > file, out of memory and so on).

If you would like to search the headers as well you must modify the arexx
script. Go to the line which starts with SAVEMESSAGE and remove the NOHEADER
option at the ~end of line.

Please report bizarre conditions, errors or suggestions to the email address
above.

TODO:

- Mark word/sentence in text with hilightning (eg. #...# combo)
- More options such as case-sensitive search
- Ask user if (s)he want to search header or not
