Well, you don't give us much information. What operation system are you using? Or should it be cross-platform? Do you want a text interface or graphical user interface? And what is stopping you from just doing it?

If you want to create a graphical user interface you might want to take a look at Perl/Tk

Another question: Aren't those things already possible in the desktop environment? I.e. searching for files, displaying, adding dirs and removing them. That's what every shell like bash or csh and every File Manager like Finder, Dolphin or Windows Explorer does

If you are on linux and don't know how to search for files, you might like to read the man page of 'find' and/or install 'locate' (might also be called 'findutils-locate' or something else, just search for locate). locate puts all filenames on your hard disk into a database so you can just enter 'locate thing' and every file and path with the string "thing" in it will be listed
