In P2P systems, the speed of searching for desired lists of sharable files is one of the most important measurement issues in evaluation of overall system performance. Although the searching schemes of existing non-structured P2P systems have been improved to enhance speed considerably, they still never reach to the level of those of the centralized and structured systems. In this paper, we propose a multinode global directory in P2P systems, where all the lists of sharable resources of the joining peers are aggregated and divided into the chosen nodes while keeping collating sequence as a whole to make one big linked list. Thus in indexed sequential searching, the system provides us with convenience of using the command like ?dir? of MS-DOS, and in general keyword searching, which is naturally impossible for the structured P2P systems, the searching speed is even faster than those of centralized P2P systems since a small list segment is scanned at each node synchronously in parallel.
