Cathy is an extremely small, very fast and easy to use file cataloger.

Cathy creates small indexing archives (.caf) for your files.
It is pretty straightforward in it's use.
Run it and hit the "Catalog" tab in order to create a new catalog.
Browse the root folder for your catalog and press add.
Cathy takes some time to index all your files.
This can take a while.
After the indexing part you can hit the "Search" tab and you are ready to search and you can see the results.
By right clicking an result you can select open and the file is executed.
You can also export the catalog (just right click your created catalog) into a text file using two methods directory tree list and the full export option.

Some hints for searching :
- instead of wildcards use a part of the file name only
- there is a special character '|' to mark the start or end
of the filename (e.g. pattern '.c|' means files with extension 'c')
- exactly one wildcard character '*' is allowed inside the searched text
- '*str' is the same as 'str*' is the same as 'str'
- '|s*doc|' finds file names like 'Solution.DOC' or 'StringDOC'
- '|s*doc' also finds file names like 'SolDOCument.txt'
- 's*doc' also finds file names like 'unSolDOCument.txt'
- the search is case-insensitive
