Yes, it's already halfway there. But ZIP headers are variable in size, so I assume the program works out how much to search, and possibly knows which bits to look at. This would be just an unintelligent search of the first/last x bytes.

Perhaps instead of toggling between yes and no, it could cycle through:
- search zip TOC only
- full search
- search first 10KB only
- search last 10KB only

Not sure of the need to provide a choice of 1KB, 2KB, etc. I assume that restricting the search to just 10KB should cover most needs and should be far faster than searching, say, 1MB.

I don't know if restricting it to multiples of the cluster size would make it more efficient. Perhaps search 2 clusters? If there was demand for it the number of clusters could be a CO.
