[pass] 'pass find gpg' returns everything

[Von Welch]

FYI, What follows is the zsh function I use to search my password store
based on 'find.' I've tuned it to match any part of directories and stores
(case insensitively), but not the gpg extension or the password store path
or git directory. sed is used to prune the .gpg extension from store files.

Von


# Search passwords for string and return matches, one per line
search_pass() {
    local store="${PASSWORD_STORE_DIR:-$HOME/.password-store}"

    if test $# -ne 1 ; then
      echo "Usage: $0 <search_string>" 1>&2
      return 1
    fi

    # Change dir to store so we can run 'find .' and not match
    # on password store directory.
    pushd -q "${store}"

    # All arguments escaped and joined into one string
    search_string="${(j. .)${(q)@}}" ; shift

    # Find first clause prunes .git/ directory
    # Second clause matches full paths with matching directory components
    # Third clause matches any part of filename, ignoring .gpg suffix
    # -iname and -ipath are case-insensitive
    # sed command strips path prefix and .gpg suffix
    find . -type d -name .git -prune \
      -o -ipath "*/*${search_string}*/*" -type f -print \
      -o -iname "*${search_string}*.gpg" -type f -print \
      | sed -e "s#./##" -e 's#\.gpg$##' | sort
    popd -q
}
