Hi, it is possible in tkinter to code the searchbar for a search in all the computer for a given input? Can provide some code?
I know the code for specific file path (example "notepad.exe"), but this case is different.
I'm not asking how to create a searchbar, i know that. I'm asking how do we do a full search in windows for given name in the searchbox. Regards, Francisco

If i get this to work the problem will be solved. The only problem, i have to put this file in each folder that i want to do the search, it is possible for him to search all the C:\\, and display the created folder in desktop?

the following code will search from starting directory to last node.
you can find values for stat here: https://docs.python.org/3/library/stat.html
with this, you can test each entry for file type (directory, regular file, symbolic link, etc,)
and use what you need as they are all presented in the list returned from walk node:
You can insert what you need into your tkinter search algorithm
import os

startdir = path relative to current path, example '../data' or

def __init__(self, startdir):
# Anchor starting directory
os.chdir(os.path.abspath(os.path.dirname(__file__)))
fileinfo = self.walk_node(startdir)
# print first 10 entries.
for n, entry in enumerate(fileinfo):
if n > 10:
break
print(f'\nabspath: {entry[0]}')
print(f'stats: {entry[1]}')
if stat.S_ISDIR(entry[1][0]):
print(f'{entry[0].name} is a directory')
elif stat.S_ISREG(entry[1][0]):
print(f'{entry[0].name} is a regular file')
# You can check for all possibilities.
def find_file(self, filename):
print(f'Searching for {filename}')
for entry in self.fileinfo:

I converted once the code that searches for the files (png, doc, docx, ...) to exe, i just need to place it in the folders i want and then from the main program a function to call all the exes in those specific folders. Yah, it gives a bit of work, indicating each path to the main program. I just put one of exes in the folder images, another downloads, documents, and so on, i hide the file from the user and then i press a button and it will organize all.

Searching for Delaware.html

file found in /home/larz60/Documents/TestFileWalker/data/tmp_old/Delaware.html
when done playing with this code, remove all print statements, and the call to run (in __init__)
fileinfo = self.walk_node(startdir)
and then import the class into your program and use what you want.
** Edited 8:33 PM EDT **
added find_file routine and test for same Thanks for your tip, since your code gives me error. The person with lots of files, should put them in folders, that's why i created different code to do that. Then it's more easy for her to search for the any intended file

I don't understand why you get an error.
It's thoroughly tested. where did you put the code, and how did you run it?
I also looked at your error message, and looks as though you have some permission issues.
If you correct those, you should have no problem running.
Also, which directory did you try and start in?
on windows, Microsoft will not allow access to some directories, and that could be a (fixable) issue.
I can alter the code to skip these directories.
Finally, what did you name the module? It cannot be the same name as any python commands.
When run, it's amazingly fast, I have 8 TB of internal disk space, and it finished fast.

I deleted all prints and changed
