Mutation Driven Testing: When TDD Just Isn’t Good Enough
re: absence of C++ tools
Have you looked at Mull[1] or Dextool[2]?

Your preferred DE?
For file searches you might give this a try: https://github.com/yatima1460/Drill

Opportunistic, pragmatic Pop!
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.
- what method does pop launcher uses to index files/folders?

I'm looking for a good search tool.
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.

If you can't find what you saved, there is no point to any of this.
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.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing dextool and Drill you can also consider the following projects:
dmd - dmd D Programming Language compiler
workspaces - Workspaces app for linux elementaryos gtk
mutatest - Python mutation testing: test your tests! Safely run mutation trials without source code modifications and see what will get past your test suite.
TabFS - 🗄 Mount your browser tabs as a filesystem.
SpeedTests - comparing the execution speeds of various programming languages
fsearch - A fast file search utility for Unix-like systems based on GTK3
