Current folder if not setInstallationjznsearchis automatically built using Github Actions and published into PyPI:https://pypi.org/project/jznsearch/Utility is distributes as pip package. To install it use the following command (you need to have a working Python installation andpip)pip install jznsearchAssumptions and limitationsjznsearch is ad-hoc solution to provide operators with basic search capabilities in existing data structures. Current limitations are:It doesn't support nested JSONs (arrays are fine, e.g "tags")Source files are relatively small and the can fit into memory on a single machineSearch is performed by substring match, which may be confusing in some cases (d79-35eb-1a38and-1are a match)
