-sn, --searchname search for a file based on its name


2. Indexing a File

(venv)khirod@kurosaki:~/Documents/KTagZ$ ktagz -f LICENSE
Tags [separated by a space]: license
Description [short description]: A GPL V3 license file


(venv)khirod@kurosaki:~/Documents/KTagZ$ ktagz -f LICENSE.txt
Tags [separated by a space]: license ktagz
Description [short description]: A GPL V2 license file


3. Index a directory recursively

(venv)khirod@kurosaki:~/Documents/KTagZ$ ktagz -d tagzpackage/
Tags [separated by a space]: module tagz main_module
Description [short description]: Tagz module that contains all the python files.


4. Searching a File using tags

(venv)khirod@kurosaki:~/Documents/TagZ$ ktagz -st
Enter tags to be searched [space separated]: license

Results are
--------------------------------------

* File Name: LICENSE
* Description: A GPL V3 license file.
* File Path: /home/khirod/Documents/KTagZ/LICENSE
* File Tags: [u'license']

* File Name: LICENSE.txt
* Description: A GPL V2 license file.
* File Path: /home/khirod/Documents/KTagZ/LICENSE.txt
* File Tags: [u'license', u'ktagz']


LICENSE appears as top result, because we gave only one tag license and that is satisfied with LICENSE while
LICENSE.txt also had 'ktagz' as a tag hence it got a lower score and appeared lower.


5. Search a File using description

(venv)khirod@kurosaki:~/Documents/TagZ$ ktagz -sd
Rough description to be searched: license V2 file

Results are
--------------------------------------

* File Name: LICENSE.txt
* Description: A GPL V2 license file.
* File Path: /home/khirod/Documents/KTagZ/LICENSE.txt
* File Tags: [u'license', u'tagz']

* File Name: LICENSE
* Description: A GPL V3 license file.
* File Path: /home/khirod/Documents/KTagZ/LICENSE
* File Tags: [u'license', u'tagz']

Here LICENSE.txt appears as top result because the description only LICENSE.txt had all the three words we mentioned
in description while LICENSE had only two.
