Is this not what java.io.FileNotFoundException is for? In other words, in
addition to putting a log message, you should throw a FileNotFoundException
as well. You might also want to terminate the process altogether, as I see
no use in doing anything without a search directory. Another approach is to
throw an exception. The caller of the function then catches said exception
and generates the searcher.dir.
