Point the tool at each network folder holding the PODs — the GLS folders alongside the others; any number is fine. Access is remembered between sessions, so you only need to reconnect after a browser restart. Nothing is uploaded — everything stays on this machine.
Week folders are named YYYYWW — 202519 is 2025. Any folder starting with a year outside this list is skipped whole, never opened. Leave empty to index everything.
Filenames carry one to three references; the document itself carries more — a GLS Track ID appears nowhere in the filename. Reading each POD once makes every reference inside it searchable. Do this after every scan: until it finishes, a reference that lives only inside a document will come back as not found.
The rate and time remaining appear once it starts — that is the real answer for your share, not an estimate. Raise files at once if the rate is low and the network looks idle; lower it if the share starts to struggle. Stopping keeps everything already read.
A reference matches only when it equals a complete block of the filename. In 43011957433_2510930946_2501181912.pdf the three blocks are each a valid reference — a partial number is not a match. A filename may hold one block or several. Once document text has been read, references that appear only inside a PDF — a GLS Track ID, for example — are found too, and each result says which way it matched.
Accepts .xlsx, .xls and .csv. Other columns in the sheet are kept and stored alongside each match.
Every confirmed match is kept here, so a reference looked up once never needs searching again. Stored in this browser on this machine.
