I made this mostly for myself, but thought that modlist authors and modders may find it valuable.
What makes this search utility unique is the ability to search for loose files and those within bsa and ba2 archives for files. Results are found in seconds, even for very large searches.
As an example, I use Mad God's overhaul for Skyrim VR. I can run a wildacard search for all nifs in my modlist which returns a paginated list of over 80,000 mesh files. The initial results page shows results with 5 seconds.. Though.. I do have a gen5 nvme, so ymmv.
The entire MGO modlist contains 743,420 Files, in 39,830 Folders. If I wanted to find, for example, oil*.* to work on oil_n.dds in blender, I *could* search for loose files in Windows explorer, but it's slow as shit, results aren't always relevant, it doesn't search inside archives... and its slow as shit. or I could use the MO2 filter if I already knew the name of the mod the file was in, but if I don't know which mod holds a particular file, I'm SOL. With delver, I get every result for that search string in a few seconds. I can search for oil_n.dds, oil_p.dds, etc., showing those results found both inside and outside archives, and listing the winning conflict if any exist, as well as the 'other sources' (losing conflicting files).
Search results will display the full file paths for both loose and packed files and include a link to open the file location in Windows Explorer to be able to quickly open it in your preferred program. If the result is inside a BSA the link will open the path to the BSA for you to extract if necessary, and it will display the path inside the archive in case you just want to replicate the path with your own loose overwrite instead of extracting it.
Special thanks to Zilav for allowing me to bundle BSArch with the plugin. Without it the BSA header disassembly would have crushed my soul. Check out his mod page here: https://next.nexusmods.com/profile/zilav/mods?gameId=130
Installation: Close MO2, unzip to the plugins folder in MO2, open MO2. Access the plugin called 'Delver - File Search.
Please report any major bugs you find.. 50/50 chance I'll fix it.
