Finder is a small utility to find files fast. It is a Perl script that searches through a file that contains a snapshot of your root directory tree. Since it doesn't search through your actual directory tree, it is much faster then find, but could be less accurate if the snapshot is not maintained.

Finder is a science fiction comic book series written and illustrated by Carla Speed Mc Neil, beginning in 1996. It is published by McNeil's imprint Lightspeed Press, which has also collected most of it in trade paperback volumes. It has been critically well received, winning numerous awards, but the series has consistently sold poorly, leading McNeil to move in 2005 to web-only distribution and sales of trade paperbacks.

optical device that helps a user to find the target of interest

Restlet that can find the target resource that will concretely handle the request. Based on a given resource class, it is also able to instantiate the resource with the call's context, request and response without requiring the usage of a subclass. Once the target resource has been found, the call is automatically dispatched to the appropriate handle*() method (where the '*' character corresponds to the method name) if the corresponding allow*() method returns true. For example, if you want to support a MOVE method for a WebDAV server, you just have to add a handleMove() method in your subclass of Resource and it will be automatically be used by the Finder instance at runtime. If no matching handle*() method is found, then a Status.CLIENT_ERROR_METHOD_NOT_ALLOWED is returned.
