- directory
- String
The relative path of the directory to search. Use an empty string for the root.
- regexPattern
- String
A regular expression pattern to match against file contents. The pattern is matched case-insensitively.
For example, "error|warning" matches lines containing "error" or "warning".
- globPattern
- String
An optional glob pattern to filter which files are searched (e.g., ".md", "research").
When null, all files are searched.
Uses standard glob syntax from Matcher, matched against each file's path relative to
directory. Use to match across subdirectories (e.g., "/*.md").
- recursive
- Boolean
When true, all descendant files of directory are searched.
When false (default), only the direct children of directory are searched.
- cancellationToken
- CancellationToken
A token to cancel the operation.
Returns
A list of search results. Each result's FileName is the matching file's
path relative to directory.
