//          test-zip/
//              test.txt
//      test-zip-copy.zip
//          test-zip-copy/
//              test.txt

//var folderPath = './test-zip-folder/test-zip.zip' //search a single zip file...
var folderPath = './test-zip-folder/' //search a folder with zip files in it [using npm fast-glob]...
var searchResults = searchSync(folderPath, ["test"]);

//returns [ [zipPath, filePathWithinZip, sizeInBytesString] ... ]

//results are files containing all the query terms in their names/paths
console.log(searchResults);

//     [
//         './test-zip-folder/test-zip-copy.zip',
//         'test-zip-copy/test.txt',
