#### Searching for files
All catalogers are provided an instance of the [`source.FileResolver`](https://github.com/anchore/syft/blob/v0.70.0/syft/source/file_resolver.go#L8) to interface with the image and search for files. The implementations for these
All catalogers are provided an instance of the [`file.Resolver`](https://github.com/anchore/syft/blob/v0.70.0/syft/source/file_resolver.go#L8) to interface with the image and search for files. The implementations for these
abstractions leverage [`stereoscope`](https://github.com/anchore/stereoscope) in order to perform searching. Here is a
rough outline how that works:
1. a stereoscope `file.Index` is searched based on the input given (a path, glob, or MIME type). The index is relatively fast to search, but requires results to be filtered down to the files that exist in the specific layer(s) of interest. This is done automatically by the `filetree.Searcher` abstraction. This abstraction will fallback to searching directly against the raw `filetree.FileTree` if the index does not contain the file(s) of interest. Note: the `filetree.Searcher` is used by the `source.FileResolver` abstraction.
2. Once the set of files are returned from the `filetree.Searcher` the results are filtered down further to return the most unique file results. For example, you may have requested for files by a glob that returns multiple results. These results are filtered down to deduplicate by real files, so if a result contains two references to the same file, say one accessed via symlink and one accessed via the real path, then the real path reference is returned and the symlink reference is filtered out. If both were accessed by symlink then the first (by lexical order) is returned. This is done automatically by the `source.FileResolver` abstraction.

3. By the time results reach the `pkg.Cataloger` you are guaranteed to have a set of unique files that exist in the layer(s) of interest (relative to what the resolver supports).
