% searching. So you are doing searching on directories and file names
Not quite; the serialized array *does* contain the directory list.
Imagine
$tree =
(
[0] =>
(
[0] => ./d1 ,
[1] => ./d2 ,
[2] => ./d2/s1 ,
[3] => ./d2/s1/s2 ,
) ,
[1] =>
(
[0] => ./d1/f1 ,
[0] => ./d1/f2 ,
[1] => ./d2/f3 ,
[1] => ./d2/f4 ,
[1] => ./d2/f5 ,
[2] => ./d2/s1/f6 ,
[3] => ./d2/s1/s2/f7 ,
[3] => ./d2/s1/s2/f8 ,
)
)
or so. Now my input is 'd1' or 'f2' or even 'd1 f2' or such.

Presumably; this is a way to look through a directory tree and return
pointers to those that match. Typically we'll have an array of 20 or 30
directories; often we'll have maybe 100; on rare occasion we might have
250 or more.

Probably, but I'm more worried about handling some wacky input like
(this or that) and the and (ot or her)
or something wonky. So I could always kick back a "no way, buddy!" error
but I don't want to throw up all over everything getting confused by it.
