Searching for a folder on a mounted share?

Hi all,

I have a mounted share which has a somewhat chaotic and vast folder structure (not my doing, honest!). I want to search for a particular folder name on that share (it could be anywhere). I can think of a couple of ways of doing this, namely;

1) A recursive scan through the hierarchy every time I want to look for a folder (time consuming)
2) Creating a database of all files on the share overnight and searching that (faster, but obviously always slightly out of date)

I'm sure (and I hope) there must be a better way - can anyone suggest anything?

Thanks
Rob
