Fsearch, a fast file search utility for Unix-like systems
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

Bfs 3.0: The Fastest Find Yet
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
https://github.com/cboxdoerfer/fsearch/issues/26
Everything is comprehensive + instant + always up-to-date, that's so awesome a combo it's a pity it's Windows only

How and why am I seeing files that I have no access to?
One other program I've been particularly enjoying recently is fsearch : https://github.com/cboxdoerfer/fsearch

baloo is using 36 GB space, is that normal?
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.

Does Linux have an equivalent of MFT on NTFS in Windows?
But AFAIK nothing seems to use this, def not fsearch, they have an open issue - https://github.com/cboxdoerfer/fsearch/issues/26

Name the tools you can't live without!
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.

Ask HN: Any tool for managing large and variable command lines?
In addition, I think bash's `operate-and-get-next` can be very helpful. When you go back through your shell history, you can hit Ctrl+o instead of enter and it will execute the command then put the next one in your history on the command line, and keep track of where you are in your history. This way, you can rerun a bunch of commands by going to the first one and Ctrl+o till you are done. And you can edit those commands and hit Ctrl+o and still go to the next previously run command.
Note: fzf's history search feature breaks this. https://github.com/junegunn/fzf/issues/2399

So You Think You Know Git – Git Tips and Tricks by Scott Chacon
Those are the most used aliases in my gitconfig.
"git fza" shows a list of modified/new files in an fzf window, and you can select each file with tab plus arrow keys. When you hit enter, those files are fed into "git add". Needs fzf: https://github.com/junegunn/fzf
"git gone" removes local branches that don't exist on the remote.
"git root" prints out the root of the repo. You can alias it to "cd $(git root)", and zip back to the repo root from a deep directory structure. This one is less useful now for me since I started using zoxide to jump around. https://github.com/ajeetdsouza/zoxide

Which command did you run 1731 days ago?
> my history is so noisy I had to find another way
The fzf search syntax can help, if you become familiar with it. It is also supported in atuin [2].

Z – Jump Around
You call it with `n` and get an interactive fuzzy search for your directories. If you do `n ` instead, it’ll start the find with `` already filled in (and if there’s only one match, jump to it directly). The `ls` is optional but I find that I like having the contents visible as soon as I change a directory.
I’m also including iCloud Drive but excluding the Library directory as that is too noisy. I have a separate `nl` function which searches just inside `~/Library` for when I need it, as well as other specialised `n` functions that search inside specific places that I need a lot.

Fish shell 3.7.0: last release branch before the full Rust rewrite
I do find the history pager stuff interesting, but ultimately not of tremendous use for me. I rebound all my history search stuff to use fzf[1] (via a fish plugin for such[2]), and so haven't been aware of the issues
