    Fix desktop search. The best attempt at a nice and convenient desktop search was the long forgotten Beagle Project. Instead of coming up with a whole new DE, it would IMO be much more useful to fix things that really don't work well in Gnome (or Budgie). One of these things is the desktop search. The good news is there are pretty good search utilities like Recoll and Drill, they just are not integrated into a combined view. Both could be combined into the Synapse launcher or as a Search Provider.

    fsearch and drill are fairly similar. The Drill author wrote it because they missed Everything on Linux and fsearch also notes Everything as its inspiration. These are the 2 that come closest to Everything.

    Gonna throw drill into the ring. It is explocitly not an indexed searcher. It drills through all filesystems accessible to your machine. If indexed searchers fail you, you will surely find it with drill if you know at least a part of the file's name.
