ahkv2-scripts VS fsearch

Here is my collection of AutoHotKey v2 scripts: https://github.com/EBADBEEF/ahkv2-scripts

The AHK documentation is really good, and is a windows help file (chm). It is really fast, has a good enough indexed search, and example code is usually present.

I recently updated my scripts to work with ahkv2. https://github.com/EBADBEEF/ahkv2-scripts

Some things I'm proud of here:

Hi, author here.

Likely the most significant benefit is the more powerful query language. For example you can also search by file modification date or size and use boolean operators. https://github.com/cboxdoerfer/fsearch/wiki/Search-syntax

Yes, FSearch is the one I use, but it's not as great, per FSearch's dev:

> However, FSearch doesn't automatically detect changes made to the file system and update its index then. This is on the roadmap (it's called inotify support) but it'll never work as smooth as Everything on Windows, because the Linux kernel isn't particularly good at reporting filesystem changes

Everything is comprehensive + instant + always up-to-date, that's so awesome a combo it's a pity it's Windows only

If you are new and wish a simple way to search, fsearch is a very nice tool.... https://github.com/cboxdoerfer/fsearch

You might consider grabbing the latest release at https://github.com/cboxdoerfer/fsearch/releases.

One other program I've been particularly enjoying recently is fsearch : https://github.com/cboxdoerfer/fsearch

If you don't need content indexing, Fsearch is an alternative. I've been using it for over a year now and it's been working flawlessly. Results are near instant and the db is in single digit megabytes.

But AFAIK nothing seems to use this, def not fsearch, they have an open issue - https://github.com/cboxdoerfer/fsearch/issues/26

Still remember those days of arguing on /g/ where linux longbeards stallman fanboys tried to say how this or that tool was good search... but I dont want to just find something, I want to use it that second, and I want the entire system indexed... after getting some webms to showcase that instant feel it got the message across, though later someone appeared with some dmenu trickery being similarly fast and useful... anyway Fsearch that appeared soon after me is the real deal.
