fsearch VS ANGRYsearch

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.

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
