That is simple enough, however, I dont see much flexibility in it with
searching. So you are doing searching on directories and file names
based on what is in the serialized array? Will you need to search the
document in the near future?
Lucene has that logic in it. However, not sure if lucene is the way to
go. It will work for what you are doing. However, it might be an
overkill depending on how many files you are searching on. You might be
able to write a regexep using preg_match that will return what you are
looking for.
