search_files

Locate files by name using case-insensitive substring matching across subdirectories within allowed paths. Supports absolute paths and customizable timeout settings for reliable file searching.

Instructions

Finds files by name using a case-insensitive substring matching. Use this instead of 'execute_command' with find/dir/ls for locating files. Searches through all subdirectories from the starting path. Has a default timeout of 30 seconds which can be customized using the timeoutMs parameter. Only searches within allowed directories. IMPORTANT: Always use absolute paths (starting with '/' or drive letter like 'C:') for reliability. Relative paths may fail as they depend on the current working directory. Tilde paths (~/...) might not work in all contexts. Unless the user explicitly asks for relative paths, use absolute paths.
