+# Terminal File Search
+
+A minimal Python script to search for files in directories by name patterns or extensions, displaying results with full paths.
+
+## Features
+
+- **Name Search**: Find files using wildcards (`*.py`, `test*`, `file.txt`)
+- **Extension Search**: Search by file extension (`.py`, `.md`, `.txt`)
+- **Recursive Search**: Searches through all subdirectories
+- **Path Display**: Shows full paths for all matches
+- **Interactive Mode**: Prompts for directory and pattern
+- **Command Line**: Direct execution with arguments
+
+## Usage
+
+### Command Line
+```bash
+python file_search.py [directory] [pattern] [ext]
+```
+
+### Interactive Mode
+```bash
+python file_search.py
+```
+
+## Examples
+
+### Search by Name Pattern
+```bash
+python file_search.py . "*.py"
+python file_search.py /home/user "test*"
+python file_search.py . "README.md"
+```
+
+### Search by Extension
+```bash
+python file_search.py . ".py"
+python file_search.py /docs ".md"
+python file_search.py . "txt" ext
+```
+
+### Interactive Example
+```
+Terminal File Search
+=========================
+Enter directory to search (or . for current): .
+Enter search pattern (e.g., *.py, test*, file.txt): *.py
+
+Searching in: /current/directory
+Pattern: *.py (name)
+
+Found 5 file(s) matching '*.py':
+--------------------------------------------------
+  1. ./script.py
+  2. ./utils/helper.py
+  3. ./tests/test_main.py
+```
+
+## Search Patterns
+
+| Pattern | Description | Example |
+|---------|-------------|---------|
+| `*.py` | All Python files | `main.py`, `utils.py` |
+| `test*` | Files starting with "test" | `test_main.py`, `testing.txt` |
+| `README.md` | Exact filename | `README.md` |
+| `.py` | Extension search | All `.py` files |
+| `.md` | Extension search | All `.md` files |
+
+## Requirements
+
+- Python 3.6+
+- No external dependencies
+
+## Error Handling
+
+- Permission denied directories are skipped
+- Invalid directories show error message
+- Empty results display appropriate message
