client file catalog

I was wondering, when a Gnutella query is sent out to all the clients, how does the client software find the file? i know you select the directory of shared files, but does the software catalog the files each time it's loaded, or does it just scan the folder(s) each time?

I would think that creating a database of files would take up more space, but make searching much faster.
