DESCRIPTION:

A simple utility for quickly and efficiently searching a sorted file for lines that start with a given search key.

bsearch uses binary search which relies on the file being sorted in either ascending or descending order. This approach is capable of searching tens of gigabytes of data in milliseconds.

Features

* Case insensitive searching

* Trim whitespace from the start of the search key and/or lines in the file

* Support numeric searching

* Support ascending/descending sort order
