• ANGRYsearch

  10 1,002 0.0 Python

  Linux file search, instant results as you type

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.

• fsearch

  52 3,102 6.5 C

  A fast file search utility for Unix-like systems based on GTK3

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.
