ANGRYsearch VS yori

I'm using ANGRYsearch for quick (index-based) searches. Works very well.

To the extend that ~8 years ago, when I switched to linux, I missed it so much I would not accept the searches linux had to offer. IMO not comparable with Everything... and actually went and learn python and pyqt just to fucking make somewhat similar alternative that would get me that instant results as I type results. Was actually surprised how little was needed to get it going... called it ANGRYsearch.

No clue about "Everything" but I use Angrysearch.

3) Search for any LibreOffice config files - in case any remain - and delete them. You could try using Nemo for that, but I recommend AngrySearch.

for Search I currently use AngrySearch. Which indexes your filesmanually triggered, and then searches that index when you type in the search box.

Angrysearch.

ANGRYsearch (very powerful file search)

Right now I'm using ANGRYsearch tied to a hotkey, which does the job very well, but it should actually be part of the DE because

Try Angry Search

Malcolm Smith's YEdit deserves mention here, also inspired by the old MS-DOS Edit which was used by so many people in yesteryears to edit their autoexec files, read .nfo files and poke into the numerous batch files of the day. MS-DOS Edit no longer runs natively outside of something like a DOSBox, but YEdit is the closest thing I have seen to recreating almost exactingly the old nostalgic experience.

Tilde is of course more for the non-Windows audience while YEdit is only for Windows.

Escaping of arguments and slashes in paths will now hopefully work better on Windows, which is generally an issue there. Yori shell is now also handled on Windows.

If you're not constrained to inbox tools, there's a lot more out there. Personally I'm not a fan of PowerShell and have posted all of my tools at https://github.com/malxau/yori . Not saying that's an exhaustive set of tools that solves all problems, but it's my list of "what's missing" from the out of box Win32 experience.

For what it's worth, I maintain my own CMD-like shell (http://www.malsmith.net/yori) and look in forums like this for suggestions/feature requests. I see why you'd like this, but if implemented, it can't ever be consistent, so I worry that it'd just generate more confusion.

A start menu/taskbar (stop laughing - I'm not crazy!) It's a 52Kb self contained executable that can parse shortcuts from the start menu folders. Makes RDP to Core into a somewhat sane experience. See https://github.com/malxau/yori/tree/master/yui .

Thankfully, the author of Yori[0] shell has made a modern port of EDIT called, well, Yedit[1].
